La battaglia di algeri: racconto a strisce di una storia in bianco e nero

The chosen theme has been inspired by the famous Gillo Pontecorvo’s movie, La battaglia di Algeri, telling an episod of the liberation war leaded by Algerian National Liberation Front against Frech troups in 1957. This episode is meant to be only a track to elaborate the more general theme of the Resistence, and of all other Resistences belonging to the past and to the present: starting from the historical resistences of the national liberation fronts and arriving at the Seattle movements.
This theme can pass through all the contemporary survive strategies, continue resistence practices, different forms of political, economic, linguistic and cultural antagonism, which are becoming necessarily new identities.
