I don't do any of this twittering nonsense, but I've received 2 emails today from Magnum, so someone in their communications team must have woken up. One of them is for a very interesting looking exhibition at the gallery in Paris about Algeria 1962 - it's 50 years since the end of the war with France, and independence. This has been a strong theme of the last couple of terms of my French cinema class, so very a propos.
