Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for knowing where things are kept, why nobody can find the tape, and how a home quietly teaches its own geography.
From The Battle of Algiers to Papicha, Algerian cinema is cinema of resistance and beauty. Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 film, shot in the actual locations of the revolution with actual participants, remains one of the greatest political films ever made and is still studied in film schools worldwide. Watch one Algerian film today. The industry has survived censorship, civil war, and underfunding, and still it produces work that the world notices. Merzak Allouache, Nadir Mokneche, Sofia Djama, the names keep coming. The Casbah of Algiers was a film set before it was a UNESCO site. The screen is another front, and Algerian filmmakers are still fighting on it.
You encounter the endemic red crab during its famous annual migration and various seabirds like the Christmas frigatebird and booby on this remote island. You find that cats, dogs, and rabbits serve as the primary pets for the small population of residents.
