    Synopsis

    Algerien par accident flirts between the fiction and the documentary, even the auto-fiction. Karim Aïnouz, the Brazilian director, by using his personal background, invites the audience to follow/discover an incredible journey through space and time, with an original and usually unknown prism/aspect: The strong bound between Algeria and Brazil, two countries with political and revolutionary strikes that moulded their evolution.

    With the support of: ANCINE, ARTE FRANCE - LA LUCARNE, CNC, PROCIREP ANGOA, SANAD, Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Literary Colloquium as part of the Grenzgänger funding programme, Fundação Paradiso
