Movie theaters and liberation of images in Algeria : can we overpass it ?

Abstract EN

This article attempts to describe the cinema as a “physical” space for reception, in order to grasp the repercussions of its presence or ence in cinematographic experiences.

First, we will focus on the "classic" cinematic experience in its ritual dimension and on "the place" as a mediation space.

In a second step, we try to shed light on the alternative spaces for film reception in Algeria in order to better understand the changes that have taken place in the multiple relationships between the Algerian viewer and the cinema.
