The Rehearsal is one of the most exceptional films by Jules Dassin, the director of unforgettable film noirs such as Rififi, Brute Force and The Naked City. This film was clandestinely shot in a studio in New York. Completed in just four weeks with a very low budget, it reenacts the student uprising at the Athens Polytechnic University in 1973. Documenting the events that resulted in the deaths of 40 students on November 17, the film reconstructs the incidents through documents, interviews, songs, and poems. It brings together names like Melina Mercouri, Lillian Hellman, Maximilian Schell, Arthur Miller, and Laurence Olivier, all involved in the same uprising.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.

Ali Sami is born in Rusçuk in 1866, and moves to İstanbul. Because his family is registered in the Beylerbeyi quarter of Üsküdar, Ali Sami is also called Üsküdarlı Ali Sami. He graduates from the Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun in 1866 and becomes a teacher of painting and photography at the school.
