The “simple” characters from “Journey to Algiers” can bring the Golden Stallion

OUAGADOUGOU (Burkina Faso) – A focus on the “simple” characters from people, a woman and her young children in the Algerian feature-length film in official competition at Fespaco, “Journey to Algiers” can bring the Golden Stallion of Yennenga, Elikia M'bokolo guest of honour at the 22nd edition said Monday on the sidelines of the film screening.

Asked about the chances of the film to getting the Fespaco highest award, Congolese historian specializing in Africa found that the focus on single characters, a woman and her children “can sway the jury.”

Algeria expects from its participation in the 22nd biennial Fespaco to win thanks to film by Bahloul, the delegation of the Ministry of Culture said.
