Film dealing with massacre of Algerians to precede discussion on state massacres and the truth Saturday 30th January will see the Irish premiere – indeed the first screening in the English-speaking world – of the 1962 film Octobre a Paris [October in Paris] by Jacques Panijel. On 17 October 1961, Algeria's National Liberation Front, the FLN, defied France's Emergency Powers Act and called tens of thousands of Algerian immigrant workers onto the streets of Paris, to take part in a peaceful demonstration calling for recognition of Algeria's right to self-determination and for peace negotiations with the FLN. French police, under the orders from President De Gaulle's appointed Police Prefect Maurice Papon, attacked marchers with calculated brutality. During this attack thousands were savagely beaten and dozens killed, having been thrown or forced to jump in the river Seine. Thousands were rounded up and interned, many in the same detention centres that the Nazis had held Jews in before transportation to Germany less than 2 decades before.
