Abdenour Zahzah (Algeria / France, 2024, 1h30) – French premiere
With Alexandre Desane, Gérard Dubouche, Nicolas Dromard
Algeria, 1953. In a psychiatric asylum in colonized Algeria, Frantz Fanon, a young black psychiatrist, tries to cure Algerians of their alienations when war breaks out within his own services.
Looking back at the years Frantz Fanon spent as head of the Blida-Joinville psychiatric hospital, Abdenour Zahzah’s film sheds light on the genesis of the anti-colonial commitment of the author of Peaux noires, masques blancs.
Session accompanied by the International Mediation Platform
