Masterclass with Rachid Bouchareb

Event Description

The biggest buzz at this year's Cannes Film Festival came from an unexpected quarter: Rachid Bouchareb, a French-Algerian, two-time Oscar nominee whose controversial "Outside The Law" which opens DTFF 2010. In this Masterclass, Bouchareb will discuss his most recent films and others, including the triumphant "Days of Glory," about Algerian fighters in World War II. If not for the films of Rachid Boucherab, a huge part of 20th Century French-Algerian history would be forgotten. In his own words, "Cinema is a wonderful tool to converse with French society," and this Masterclass will be a rare opportunity to converse with the man himself. Boucherab is indisputably one of the most significant and thought-provoking filmmakers on the international scene. This event is open to the public and Arabic interpretation headsets will be available. Tickets can be purchased at any box office location.
