The French Mediterranean Art Center celebrates Algerian literature

The French Mediterranean Art Center celebrates Algerian literature on Thursday, October 04 @ 11:41:56 CDT The French Mediterranean Art Centre has selected Algeria as a main theme for studies in a seminar slated for October 11th at Perpignan (Southern France). The theme of the seminar is “Algeria … Inter-crossed opinions on the foot steps of Albert Camus and Kateb Yacine.”. The center started its activities 20 years in the south of France and succeeded in creating a festival in 2005. Within few years, it imposed itself on the French Literary scene. The festival “Read in the Mediterranean” celebrates artists who contributed in shaping the Mediterranean identity as well as its specificity. Algeria will be represented through the play “1962” to its stage director Mohammed Gacimi as well as through the screening of some Algerian movies for instance the French –Moroccan film “the brother enemy” in which the Algerian comic Mohammed Fellag played a part. The organizers of this year’s edition decided to celebrate the French academician Dominique Fernandez, whereas Assia Djebbar, the first African and Arab world woman to enter the French academy was not invited.
