Pierre Clément, Cinéma et Révolution, is a 2023 Algerian movie, directed by Abdenour Zahzah, and starring Pierre Clément. with a runtime of 52 minutes.
Pierre Clément, Cinéma et Révolution is a documentary by director Abdel Nour Zahzah honoring the memory of French filmmaker and photographer Pierre Clément, a student of René Vauthier. What began as a assignment to film Tunisia's independence in 1957 led Clément to Algeria, where witnessing the attacks on Sakia Sidi Youssef in February 1958 permanently changed the course of his life. He turned his camera on the violence, committed himself fully to the Algerian cause, and directed the film Algerian Refugees — before being arrested, tortured, and imprisoned. His third film was never completed. Zahzah's documentary pays tribute to a man who risked his life for another people's freedom, and who disappeared in 2007, leaving behind an unfinished legacy of conscience.
