La Citadelle (in Arabic El Kalaa) is a 1988 Algerian film written and directed by Mohamed Chouikh. A tragi-comedy set against the background of sexual inequality, it traces the amorous adventures of the young Kaddour, whose arranged marriage is intended as a lesson taught to him by his elders. Starring Djilali Ain-Tedeles, it won the prize for Best Cinematography (Allel Yahyaoui) at the 11th FESPACO held at Ouagadougou in 1989.
