PÉPÉ LE MOKO – FILM SCREENING

Film screening


Pépé le Moko was selected by Algiers-based artist Amina Menia. It directly inspired her installation Sketches of Algiers 1, curated by Yasmina Reggad for aria and exhibited at 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair last year. Menia is fascinated by the film, as the birthplace of a new genre, film noir, which made an indelible mark on the history of world cinema and which takes place in the Casbah of Algiers, almost. The film was in fact mainly shot in studios in France and Menia exposes the cinematic codes used by filmmaker Julien Duvivier in order to point out the conventions developed by colonial cinema.
