Marrakech Film Festival Comes of Age
The Marrakech International Film Festival was founded by the king of Morocco, Mohamed IV, and his brother prince Moulay Rashid, 13 years ago, and is run in cooperation with a French organization, which gives it a distinctive European feel and a French flavor. The festival began under a cloud, in December 2001, just a few months after the 9/11 attack, but it grew in scope and importance ever since.
