Mohamed Zinet's 1971 film, Tahia Ya Didou (Unusual Algiers!), won no major official awards, as the authorities who commissioned the tourist documentary disliked it for its immature portrayal and blocked it, but it became a cult film, frequently screened at the Cinémathèque d'Algiers and celebrated for its unique style blending documentary and fiction.
