약력

Keltoum, whose real name is Aïcha Adjouri, is an Algerian actress, born February 4, 1916 in Blida, and died November 11, 2010 in Algiers. Figure and dean of Algerian theater and cinema, Keltoum crosses paths with Mahieddine Bachtarzi who recruits her for a small role as a dancer in an operetta. In 1937, she co-starred with Rachid Ksentini in Marriage by Telephone and appeared in most of the shows on the famous "Mahieddine tours" in Algeria, North Africa and Europe. It also happened that the rigors of the colonial law of the time came to sanction the actress. In its edition of March 21, 1950, the daily newspaper Algiers Republican reports a fine of 50,000 francs imposed on Mahieddine by the municipality, the layoff for a month of the actress Keltoum and the ban on performing on the stage. of the Opera made to the Tunisian singer Ali Riahi, on the grounds that the piece El-Ouadjib and the songs during the performance included passages deemed "seditious". (Memoirs of M. Bachetarzi) Member of the Arab troupe of the Opera of Algiers when it was created in 1947 under the direction of Bachtarzi, alongside many stars including Mohammed Touri, Djelloul Bachdjerrah, Réda Falaki and Mustapha Kateb, she interrupted her activities in 1956 with the independance War. She is back on stage with the creation, in 1963, of the National Theater in the company of Mustapha Kateb, Mohamed Boudia, Abderrahmane Kaki, Allel el-Mouhib and Abdelkader Alloula. Until the turn of 1990, she will have played in several dozen plays. After Mort d'un commercial voyageur by Arthur Miller by Fouzia Aït El-Hadj (1987), followed by La Maison de Bernarda Alba by Federico Garcia Lorca, staged by Allel el-Mouhib, his last appearance dates back to 1991 , with the cover of El Bouaboune (Les Concierges) by Rouiched. At the cinema, she appeared in La Septième Porte by French filmmaker André Swobada with, in the main roles of Leila and Ali, on the one hand, Maria Casarès and Georges Marchal for the French version and, on the other hand, Keltoum and Bechir Gabsi for the Arabic version. She will shine especially in a magnificent silent and stripped interpretation of mother courage in the Vent des Aurès by Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina in 1966. Asked about his meeting with the actress, Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina confided that it was on the recommendation of André Swobada whom he met and chose Keltoum for the Vent des Aurès. She will play again in Hassan Terro (1968), December (1972) and Chronicle of the Brazen Years (1974) by the same director, then in Les Déracinés (Beni Hendel) by Lamine Merbah (1976), Le Vent du sud (Rih el- djanoub, 1975) and Hassan Taxi (1982) by Mohamed Slim Riad, The Roaring Years of the Twist by Mahmoud Zemmouri (1986) or even Hassan Niya by Ghaouti Bendedouche (1989).

La mère
In 1880, in colonized Algeria, it was decided that the Algerian peasants of the Ouarsenis mountains would see their lands dispossessed in favor of the French colonists. Two methods were used to achieve this, either by sheer force or by a ploy forcing the fellahs to pay fines too high to be paid. The uprooted must then leave for the cities, swelling the mass of proletarians in the slums ...

Mother
This black-and-white film – the first road movie of Algerian cinema – presents one of the most readily apparent, though subtle, transformations of the daily life of the people of Algeria brought about by the ordeal of French occupation and the war of liberation. With military repression in full force, a peasant woman finds herself alone in her house in the mountains when her only son is taken away by French soldiers soon after her husband is killed in a raid. One day, on seeing a dead chicken, which she considers a bad omen, she decides to leave home, and sets off on a tiring journey through the mountains. With a pair of chickens in tow, she moves from one detention camp to the next in a desperate search for her missing son. The film was inspired by events experienced by the family of its director.

So Young a Peace
The first fictional feature film produced in Algeria after independence, this film addresses one of the most worrying problems: that of childhood. Children, freedom regained, do not yet know how to play “at peace”, they naturally play “at war”.

The Seventh Door
An old man about to die gives all his fortune to a young beggar he meets in an Arabian town. He takes him to his house (now the poor man's property) and he strongly advises him not to open one of the doors, the seventh door. "I could throw the key into the sea" says the young lad" No use, you'd dive to get it back". The young man is curious and he cannot resist temptation: he opens the forbidden door. A strange world is waiting for him where a girl, Leila, will be his guide .
