The six films on this DVD edition are powerful examples of how cinema and filmmaking have engaged in the struggle against colonial oppression and in the momentous task of decolonizing a world marked by centuries of European hegemony over large parts of the Global South. If “Specters of Freedom” refers to the spectral and unruly nature of all films, particularly when they are taken out of an archive and brought back to life, the title also suggests that the colonial past keeps haunting our present. The political and poetic verve of these films – publicly released here for the first time on DVD – is anything but outdated.-Mueda, memória e massacre : One of the first filmmakers to be invited to shoot in Mozambique after independence was Ruy Guerra, who was born in the country but became well-known as one of the central figures of the Brazilian Cinema Novo. Although his film MUEDA, MEMÓRIA E MASSACRE, which was shown at the Berlinale Forum in 1981, is the only Mozambican film in the Arsenal archive, it is a clear milestone. It shows a piece of anti-colonial reminiscence work, a public reenactment staged by non-professionals of the massacre of Mueda (1960) carried out by the Portuguese. The event was regarded as triggering armed resistance in Mozambique in subsequent historiography and was remembered at regular intervals even before independence by means of popular reenactments. Ruy Guerra shot MUEDA with a clear documentary interest in this theatrical form of commemorative practice. Its subsequent marketing as the “first Mozambican feature film” provided an initial taste of the interpretational conflict that was to follow, which resulted in a complicated history of censorship.-Estas são as armas : The agitprop film ESTAS SÃO AS ARMAS by Murilo Salles was edited together from archival images and formed one of the first works to be produced by the newly founded film institute in Maputo.-Reassemblage :Trinh T. Minh-ha's debut film REASSEMBLAGE was shot in Senegal and also places image and sound in opposition, primarily as a means of deconstructing the stigmatizing, ethnological visual archive of Africa we all have in our heads.-La Zerda et les Chants de l’oubli : For LA ZERDA ET LES CHANTS DE L’OUBLI, Assia Djebar and her co-author Malek Alloula spent half a year in the Pathé and Gaumont film archives watching footage shot by French documentary filmmakers between 1912 and 1942. Their montage sifts through these “images of a deadly gaze” for the reality they conspicuously elide, for the resistance that has retreated “behind the mask”. The soundtrack blends together poetry, recitations, and experimental music into a polyphonic swan song to colonial violence.-Deixem-me ao menos subir às palmeiras :One of the few anti-colonial films to be produced in Mozambique before independence is DEIXEM-ME AO MENOS SUBIR ÀS PALMEIRAS by Joaquim Lopes Barbosa. Shot in the style of a Russian avant-garde film, it tells the story of the suffering of and revolts carried out by a gang of rural workers. The film was banned by the Portuguese censors at the time and has only recently been given a new reception in Portugal.-Monangambeee : “Monangambeee!” Passed from village to village, this cry struck terror in the hearts of even Angola’s bravest. Men, women and children took flight and sought protection in the bush. The cry translates as “white death”, and signified certain deportation with no return. The cry once accompanied the arrival of Portuguese slave traders and in the 1960’s it was used as an identifying sign and signal to gather for the People’s Liberation Front. A woman visits her husband in prison. When departing, she promises him a “Complet”, but the guard betrays him by informing the prison director. Based on a misunderstanding over which language the woman speaks, and the meaning of the word, it comes to interrogation and torture.

Cet ouvrage confronte des œuvres poétiques contemporaines issues d’aires géographiques diverses, Europe, Québec, Antilles, Algérie et Afrique subsaharienne. La langue française y est pratiquée comme une langue internationale oscillant entre prose et vers, lyrisme et sarcasme. Ainsi peut-on découvrir l’extrême diversité de la poésie de langue française aujourd’hui. En mettant en lumière des poètes parfois mal connus, l’ouvrage atteste la vitalité et la force de résistance de la poésie dans un monde qui, souvent, la marginalise.

Cet ouvrage sur Tlemcen médiévale tend à rendre compte de l'essor d'une métropole du Maghreb central. La ville de Tlemcen, située sur un carrefour de voies commerciales importantes tout au long du Moyen Âge, a joué un rôle majeur dans l'histoire de l'Islam d'Occident dès la conquête islamique. Ville clé de la conquête vers l'Occident, elle l'est aussi pour qui veut conquérir l'Orient du Maghreb. Elle sera ainsi l'objet des convoitises de toutes les dynasties qui ont régné sur le Maghreb comme sur al-Andalus. Siège régional du pouvoir almoravide au début du xiie siècle, elle fut ensuite celui de l'émirat 'abd al-wadide du milieu du XIIIe siècle au début du XVIe siècle. Cette destinée lui a valu de nombreuses commandes émirales par lesquelles la ville actuelle conserve les signes de son développement. Ce livre se fonde sur l'analyse des architectures et des ateliers du pays tlemcénien réalisée par des recherches de terrain mais aussi - joint à celui des sources anciennes - sur l'apport inédit à l'archéologie des archives modernes et contemporaines françaises. Tous les aspects de l'histoire d'une métropole médiévale sont ainsi analysés de l'urbanisme et de l'aménagement aux architectures et à leurs décors. Le développement d'un foyer régional artistique singulier que l'on saisit du VIIIe au XVe siècle est ainsi mis en lumière. Il apparaît clairement que l'art de Tlemcen s'intègre parfaitement dans l'aire culturelle de la Méditerranée occidentale islamisée du bas Moyen Âge et que maints échanges liaient ces émirats.
