In this article I want to call your attention to the Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche retrospective that began on November 1 at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) in New York that runs until December 13. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to view the screeners before now so the November 1 feature is only included to give you a sense of the breadth of this Algerian director’s body of work. Totally unknown to me before this week, I would now include him as among the more important filmmakers on the scene today—an equal to the Dardenne brothers, Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Jafar Panahi. If you are familiar with these directors, you would know that this is high praise. Born fifty years ago in Beni Zid, Algeria, he grew up in France. But like other Algerian immigrant filmmakers, his focus is very much on the Algerian experience.
