The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting resirkulerer orientalistiske arkivopptak fra de franske Pathé Gaumont-studioene, innspilt mellom 1912-1942, for å gjenopprette de nordafrikanske Zerda seremoniene. Gjennom en nedbryting av det voyeuristiske koloniale blikket gjenvinnes makten som ble frarøvet nordafrikanerne. Denne sjeldne og poetiske essayfilmen ble tildelt tittelen for beste historiske film på Berlin International Film Festival i 1983 og er en av de to filmene laget av den fremtredende algerisk-berberiske forfatteren og feministen, Assia Djebar, regissert i den 10 år lange pausen hun tok fra skrivekarrieren.
Eng:
The Zerda and the Songs of Forgetting recycles orientalist archival footage from the French Pathé Gaumont studios, recorded between 1912-1942, to recover the lost indigenous traditions and the North African ceremonies of Zerda.
The soundtrack is a collaboration between Assia Djebar, composer Ahmed Essyad and poet Malek Alloula and consists of voiceovers, poems, songs and cries of revolt. It challenges the distorted official history suggested by the propaganda images by constantly alluding to what is left out: the colonizer’s violence and oppression. The power that was robbed from the North Africans through the voyeurism of the colonial gaze is recuperated through subversion and by returning the silenced their voice back, thus revealing the erased struggles and the resistance.
This rare and poetic essay film was awarded the title for Best Historical Film at the 1983 Berlin International Film Festival and is one of the only two films by the prominent Algerian-Berber author and feminist, Assia Djebar, directed in the 10 year hiatus she took from her writing career.
