Writing a Report

Last December, I attended the international film festival in Marrakesh. It took place at the Congress Palace. The objective of this event was to reward a number of Arab and foreign stars.

Several spectators attended this festival; approximately five hundred people were there including actors, actresses, book writers, cinema stars, and local people. The activities were organized by the festival's jury and Moroccan authorities and continued from the 2nd December to the 10th 2016. There were different activities during the event such as welcoming and socializing with international cinema stars; and it's a golden opportunity for us to greet and take pictures with these celebrities. Also, they screened nineteen films inside the palace and in "Jamaa Lafna square", too. Other shows include some special Moroccan music, dancing moves, and international cinema galleries. During this celebration, the jury presented the film, "The Age of Shadows" by Korean director Kim Jae Won and Oscar nominee for the best foreign film this year.

A number of Russian actors, actresses, directors and producers were rewarded and honoured. The festival also honours some local and foreign cinema stars including the Moroccan actor Abdel Raouf, the director Abdellah Mesbahi and the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami. By the end of the ceremony, the jury handed out the golden prizes to the Russian stars whose films were excellent and highly interesting.

For me, I liked this event much because it made me know more about the foreign film industry, also enjoying the direct meeting with TV stars as well as the music and dances.
