The Battle of Algiers.
Week 20, 2008, at the University of Kent. This week’s lecture delivered by Dr. Catherine Grant for Introduction to Narrative Cinema 2: World Cinema is titled “Film as Argument”.
These are the aims of my subsequent seminar:
• approach the notion of political and social discourse in film;
• comprehend Murray Smith’s concepts regarding audience engagement;
• examine The Battle of Algiers (La battaglia di Algeri, 1966) and the intricacies of its argument.
