Reality And Prospects Of The Film Industry In Algeria

Authors : Kobibi Hafssa .

Abstract

This study presents an assessment of the film industry in Algeria as one of the most important cultural industries. It examines annual film production, financing and distribution, and cinema attendance, and compares them with statistical indicators from Egypt. It also highlights the challenges facing the Algerian film industry and its future prospects. By comparing the statistics of the film industries in Egypt and Algeria, we find a great similarity in production and the number of cinemas. However, Egypt has a large audience base for cinematic films, and has workers in the artistic sector in general, and thus achieves profits through the ticket office, unlike Algeria, although Algerian films win awards every time they participate in international festivals.
