04/11/2010 - 12/11/2010
A new dynamic which continues its path as also evidenced by the large number of film events in the country as the Festival International du Film de Marrakech (FIFM), he was born eight years ago.
And suddenly, the Moroccan film, long shunned, has revived the success and the public has been increasingly interested in new releases on the big screen nationally. Zeal and love for Moroccan cinema and of course also other international productions are confirmed and consolidated more and more thanks to FIFM, now one of the great appointment of cinema in the agenda of professional national and international film and especially the Moroccan public.
As evidenced, inter alia, the testimony of the American of Czech origin director and screenwriter Milos Forman - chairman of the jury of FIFM said during last year the festival of Marrakech stood by its openness of all cultures, styles and sensibilities film.
The festival has established itself in a short time as a great event in the calendar of global film, very popular with professionals here and abroad.
In praising and focusing on the opening the festival of Marrakech, this great filmmaker confirms the resolution of Morocco to continue on this path and make a cultural mix of fundamentals of the nation.
The other evidence, not least, is that he expressed at the fourth edition of FIFM by Egyptian filmmaker, disappeared this year, Youssef Chahine. The festival is a tremendous benefit for Morocco and the Moroccan cinema judging by the good on film projected and awareness of global actors and filmmakers involved.
Monsters of cinema like Roman Polanski, Martin Scorsese, Ridely Scott or Jean-Jacques Annaud (...), and the list is not exhaustive and continues since the first edition in 2001, the first attempt to prove very quickly in a few years bearer and very promising.
In this success, Marrakech's people have a light delight beyond the borders. A city for decades has continued to conquer the world-renowned filmmakers who come to plant the camera in its magical scenery.
And the success continues with this eighth edition, as always, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. It is an edition that promises given the right bill and the diversity of its programming.
Another high point, at the first film festivals in Africa and the Arab world, organizers of the initiative try to involve visually impaired and blind audiences to this festival and this film and the films use the technique of "the auditory description''.
A very laudable initiative which is over and above an attractive program and will certainly further strengthen the seal near the festival has now become unavoidable. MAP
