La Corniche d'Amour

The film follows a photographer and a painter as they wander through Kabylia, showcasing the natural beauty and tourist attractions of Algeria. Commissioned by the Defense Communication and Audiovisual Production Establishment, it serves as a promotional piece during the Algerian national liberation war, presenting a colonial perspective of the time.

Key themes include the interaction between the French tourists and the local culture, exemplified by a symbolic kiss between a French woman and an Arab man, which aims to depict a harmonious vision of Algeria. Despite its colonial lens, La Corniche d'Amour acts as a valuable historical archive, marking a significant moment in the representation of Béjaïa and introducing the work of Tahar Hannache, a figure in Algerian cinema.
