معركة الجزائر : تحيا جزائر الابطال و الشهداء

Gillo Pontecorvo (November 19, 1919 October 12, 2006) was an Italian filmmaker, best known for La battaglia di Algeri (The Battle of Algiers) although he directed several movies before its release in 1966, such as the drama Kapò (1960), which takes place in a World War II concentration camp. His 1969 film, Burn!, starring Marlon Brando and loosely based on the Haitian Revolution has also been increasingly celebrated in recent years.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Battle of Algiers was Pontecorvo's masterpiece and is widely viewed as one of the finest films of its genre ever made. Its portrayal of the Algerian resistance during the Algerian War, follows in the footsteps of neorealist pioneers such as de Santis and Rossellini, employing the use of newsreel-style footage and non-professional actors and focusing primarily on the disenfranchised population that seldom receives attention from the general media. Pontecorvo was clearly reading Frantz Fanon while making The Battle of Algiers, as many of Fanon's notions are echoed in the film, though often simplified. When the film achieved mass screening in the United States, Pontecorvo received a number of awards, and was also nominated for two Academy Awards for direction and co-writing. The film has been used as a training video by government strategists as well as revolutionary groups. It has been and remains extremely popular in Algeria, providing a popular memory of the struggle for liberation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­----------------
Pontecorvo's next major work, Queimada! (Burn!, 1969), starring Marlon Brando, is another anti-colonial film, this time set in the Antilles. This film also depicts an attempted revolution of the oppressed, with strong anti-colonial message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­------------------------------
He was nominated for the Best Director Oscar in 1969 and in that same year won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, both for The Battle of Algiers. In 2000, he received the Pietro Bianchi Award at the Venice Film Festival.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­---------------
He was also a screenwriter and composer of film scores.
Pontecorvo, born in Pisa, was the son of a wealthy non-observant Italian Jewish businessman, and the younger brother of Bruno Pontecorvo, an internationally acclaimed physicist.
He studied science in school and attended the University of Pisa, earning a degree in chemistry. It was there that he first became aware of opposing political forces, coming into contact with leftist students and professors for the first time. In 1938, shortly after his graduation and faced with growing anti-Semitism, he fled to France, where he was able to find work in journalism as a correspondent for the Italian newspapers La Repubblica and Paese Sera, and as a tennis instructor.
In Paris in 1933, Pontecorvo immediately involved himself in the film world, where he made a few short documentaries. He became an assistant to Joris Ivens, the Dutch documentary filmmaker and a well known Marxist, whose films include Regen and The Bridge. He also assisted Yves Allegret, a French director known for his work in the film noir genre whose films include Une Si Jolie Petite Plage and Les Orgueilleux. In addition to these influences, Pontecorvo began meeting people who broadened his perspectives, among them Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky and Jean-Paul Sartre. It was during this time that Pontecorvo truly developed his political ideals. He was particularly affected when many of his friends in Paris packed up to go fight in the Spanish Civil War.
Pontecorvo joined the Italian Communist Party in 1941. He traveled to northern Italy to help organize anti-Fascist partisans and going by the pseudonym Barnaba, becoming a leader of the Resistance in Milan from 1943 until 1945. Pontecorvo broke ties with the party in 1956 after the Soviet intervention in Hungary. He didn't, however, renounce his dedication to Marxism and has said, I am not an out-and-out revolutionary. I am merely a man of the Left, like a lot of Italian Jews.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­-------------------------------------------
Pontecorvo continued his series of highly political films with Ogro (1979), which addresses the occurrence of terrorism at the end of Francisco Franco's dwindling regime in Spain. He continued making short films into the early 1990s and directed a follow-up documentary to The Battle of Algiers entitled Ritorno ad Algeri (Return to Algiers, 1992). In 1992, Pontecorvo replaced Guglielmo Biraghi as the director of the Venice Film Festival and directed the festival in 1992, 1993 and 1994.
In 2006, he died from congestive heart failure in Rome at age 86.
