Moroccan and French Mediterranean Cinema Festivals Twinned
Morocco-France, Economics, 11/6/2002

Manager of Morocco's Mediterranean cinema festival of Tetuan has signed a twinning agreement with head of the France's Mediterranean cinema festival of Montpellier, held October 25 through November 2.

Besides instituting cooperation with the French festival, the Moroccan festival manager also took advantage of his presence in Montpellier to announce that the 12th Tetuan festival will be held from March 28 through April 4.

In a brochure he distributed to participants, the festival promoter explains that the event will be "open to the youth, engrained in modernity and inspired from a Mediterranean imagined, dreamed and built by the magic of cinema." The Tetuan festival will feature a special retrospective of "Colonial Cinema: Morocco seen by the Spanish motion picture."

Last September, a similar twinning agreement was signed with the Alexandria festival, providing for exchange of visits, expertise and data. The two Arab festivals managers will be endeavoring, under the agreement, to develop a sort of pool or union of Arab cinema festivals.
