Born in 1940 in Sétif, after an internship at Yugoslav Television in Belgrade, then Idhec in Paris for eight months, he joined the FLN audiovisual group in Tunis where he found Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina in particular. From 1963 to 1966, he studied at the National School of Cinema, Theater and Television in Lodz, Poland. Back in Algiers, he distinguished himself that year with Elles, a powerful documentary portrait that gives a voice to first and final year high school girls about their difficulties and their expectations. In 1996, Ahmed Lallem found four of them. Algerian Women 30 Years Later confronts yesterday's aspirations and hopes with today's disappointments.
Between these two films and in addition to about fifteen subjects between reportage and documentary, he signs in particular Forbidden Zone (Al-Faiza, 1974) and Barriers (Al-Hawajiz, 1977). The first observes the ferment of the revolt and the appearance of the first nationalist militants in an Algerian village on the eve of the war of independence, while, at the time of the extinction of large landed property and under the pressure social movements, the second describes the disintegration of the family of the feudal Hadj Mokhtar.
In his Dictionary of new Arab cinemas (Sindbad, 1978), Claude Michel Cluny describes him as "the most intellectual undoubtedly in Algeria in his approach, but also the most original, the most inventive, technically and plastically of his generation".
Anxious to remain an assiduous and lucid witness to the upheavals of Algeria, he shot many images, including those of a beautiful and combative Nabila Djahnine in Tizi Ouzou, in Letter to my sister by Habiba Djahnine. From this period, Jeunes d'Alger enété (1993) strives to capture the words of young people from working-class neighborhoods on their daily lives, their concerns, their representations of marriage and women. Based on archival and newsreel images, Kabylie, pays des Amazighs (1999) paints in its own way a portrait of the Amazigh (Berber) cultural claim in Algeria. A keen observer of the changes of his time, Ahmed Lallem will sign China Yellow, China Blue in 1997, a vast fresco rich in exceptional unpublished archival documents on China, from Empress Ts'eu-hi to Deng Xiaoping.
Ironic and caustic, a discreet worker, the artist died at the age of 69. For its remarkable intuition and its documentary qualities, the strength of its immersion and the clear and sure speech of its interviewees, for having been only rarely shown and, to our knowledge, never broadcast on the small screen, Elles by Ahmed Lallem Should be prescribed by prescription on TV and to all students.
In the mid-1990s, under pressure from the Islamists, the filmmaker left Algeria for France where he tried to continue making films. A time established in Paris, heart-sick since that time, he then retired to Tours. Ahmed Lallem died on October 19, 2009 at Tours hospital.- Robert Pinget was born on 19 July 1919 in Geneva, Switzerland. He was a writer, known for Chroniques de France (1964), Le petit théâtre d'Antenne 2 (1977) and Le petit cinéma de Georges de Caunes: Marie-France Pisier (1970). He died on 25 August 1997 in Tours, Indre-et-Loire, France.

- Former World Champion in America, Canada and Europe, Henri Deglane made his professional debut in the late 1920s. Deglane appeared at the St. Nicholas Arena in New York on February 13, 1928 and wrestled Wladek Zbyszko to a thirty-minute draw. Deglane was seriously injured during a Boston match with claimant to the World Title, Gus Sonnenberg, on March 20, 1930. Deglane traveled to Kansas City and participated in the American Legion Tournament held by Gabe Kauffman at the Convention Hall. He was matched up against Ed Lewis on March 31st in the third round contest. The two ended up wrestling to a 60-minute draw. More than a year later, Deglane beat the heavyweight champion, Ed Lewis by disqualification on May 4, 1931 in Montreal. The Montreal Athletic Commission announced Deglane as the new World Champ, and backed him. 30,000 fans turned out to watch Deglane defeat Ed Don George to retain a claim to the World Heavyweight Title on July 14, 1931 in Boston at Braves Field. At the end of the month, Deglane returned to the same field to stop the challenge of Gus Sonnenberg. On January 13, 1933, he beat Sonnenberg with two-falls in front of 22,000 in Boston. Deglane later lost the World Title to George in Boston on February 9th. Deglane was also a fire-fighter in Paris. When he retired later in the 1940s, many of his fans were depressed. They did know that Henri Deglane was one talented wrestler. A Hall of Fame grappler at that.
