Reels of revolution: capturing Algeria’s fight for liberation

Never-before-seen footage. A trove of long-forgotten 35mm reels. An archive of the Algerian Independence War. It’s all the work of Yugoslav cameraman Stevan Labudović, the cameraman of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito. The work was part of a war effort to counter French propaganda, a gesture of solidarity in the fight against colonialism.
