Open Shelf Films on Fridays offers screenings of films that have influenced exhibiting artists. November's films are selected from Adam Helms' Open Shelf. The Battle of Algiers concerns the violent struggle in the late 1950s for Algerian independence from France, where the film was banned on its release for fear of creating civil disturbances.
