The Governor delivered a welcoming address, conveying the artistic community&#8217;s aspirations for increased support and investment to preserve Constantine&#8217;s status as a capital of art and creativity, and a national reference point.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Bendouda emphasized that her visit reflects the vision of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who believes that Constantine, as a cultural capital, deserves to be an international beacon. She announced the launch of a new cultural renaissance originating from this historic city.<\/p>\n<p>A key announcement involved the revival of the Algerian Cinema Panorama Festival, placing it on the government&#8217;s agenda. Additionally, the launch of the Constantine Panorama Festival was revealed, marking a significant step in restoring one of the nation&#8217;s oldest film events, which has been absent for many years.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister also disclosed the reinstatement of support for film production, part of a new cultural policy aimed at transforming Algerian culture into a source of discovery and a tool for promoting Algeria&#8217;s image internationally. This reflects a genuine official interest in the cultural sector as a developmental driver.<\/p>\n<p>These decisions hold significant importance for a cultural and artistic sector that has suffered for years from a lack of support and platforms. Choosing Constantine, with its deep cultural history and civilizational heritage, as the starting point for this renaissance underscores a genuine desire to restore the prestige of Algerian culture and art. <em>This initiative aims to usher in a new golden age for Algerian creativity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/?cat=41\">More Culture articles on DZWatch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\">DZWatch &#8211; Your News Portal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Constantine, Algeria \u2013 In a move signaling a revitalized era for Algerian culture, the regional theater Mohamed Tahar Fergani in Constantine hosted a meeting between the Minister of Culture and Arts, Malika Bendouda, and the Governor of the state, Abdelkhalek Sayouda, alongside t&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","iawp_total_views":6,"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34340"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34342,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34340\/revisions\/34342"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dzwatch.dz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
