The birth of Algerian cinema goes back to independence in 1962, which was the main subject of different movie productions of that time.
Next were films such as The Winds of the Aures ( 1965 ) of Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina, Patrol To The East ( 1972 ) of Amar Laskri, Prohibited Area of Ahmed Lallem, ( 1972 ), The Opium and the stick of Ahmed Rachedi, or The Battle of Algiers ( 1966 ) which is an Algerian-Italian film selected three times at the Oscars.
The most famous work of Algerian cinema is probably that of Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina, Chronicle of the Years of Fire, which won the palme d ' Or at the Cannes film festival in the year 1975.
Algeria remains to this day, the only nation in Africa and the Arab world to have achieved such a distinction.
Algeria had also won an Oscar for the movie Z, a political thriller directed by Costa Gavras.
