Interesting facts

Cri de pierre is a 1986 Algerian film directed and written by Abderrahmane Bouguermouh. It tells the story of a group of Constantinois returning to their native village and the personal and collective upheavals that ensue.

Production and background

The film was directed by Abderrahmane Bouguermouh and shot in 35 mm format. It was made during a period of renewal in Algerian cinema in the 1980s, when several works explored themes such as urban life, migration and the break with the rural world. Despite receiving international critical acclaim, the film was ‘forgotten’ locally and saw little distribution in Algeria after its release; it enjoyed greater visibility abroad and at festivals.
