The Nouba of the Women of Mount Chenoua (1978)
Overview: Writer and filmmaker Assia Djebar explores Algerian history the psychological impact of war and post-colonial female identity in this 1979 classic of film literature. Named for (and taking its structure from) a traditional song with five distinct movements the film combines documentary-style observation with loose narrative form to tell the story of Lila an Algerian expatriate returning to her country 15 years after independence has been won. In comparing her life with the lives and experiences of rural Algeriennes Lila is able to put her childhood demons to rest and discover a new history -- one written in the ongoing strength of generations of women. Like much of Djebar's writing the film has a strong subtext dealing with resistance to patriarchy and women's desire to appropriate the means of power and expression -- one of which of course is the filmmaker's camera.
