  • 12 Big Names from World Cinema in Conversation with Marrakech Audiences
    The 18th edition of the Marrakech International Film Festival runs from 29 November to 7 December 2019 12 BIG NAMES FROM WORLD CINEMA IN CONVERSATION WITH MARRAKECH AUDIENCES Rabat, 14 November 2019. The “Conversation with” section is one of the highlights of the Marrakech International Film Festival and returns during the 18th edition for some fascinating exchanges with some of those who create the magic of cinema around the world. As its name suggests, “Conversation with” is a forum for free-flowing discussion with some of the great names in international filmmaking. These sessions are free and open to all: industry professionals, journalists, and the general public. During last year’s festival, the launch of this new section was a huge hit with Moroccan and internatiojnal film lovers. More than 3,000 people attended seven conversations with some legendary names of the big screen, offering some intense moments with artists, who generously shared their vision and their cinematic techniques and delivered some dazzling demonstrations and fascinating anecdotes to an audience of cinephiles. After the success of the previous edition, the Festival is recreating the experience and expanding from seven to 11 conversations at this year’s event. Once again, some of the biggest names in international filmmaking have confirmed their participation at this major FIFM event. They include US director, actor, producer, and all-around legend Robert Redford, along with Academy Award-winning French actor Marion Cotillard. Multi-award-winning Palestinian director Elia Suleiman will also be in attendance, along with independent British producer Jeremy Thomas (The Last Emperor, Only Lovers Left Alive) and celebrated US actor Harvey Keitel, star of some of the biggest hits in cinema history including Thelma and Louise, The Piano, and Pulp Fiction.

    press release nov 06 Marco Ferreri Retrospective 1 – 14 December at Ciné lumière About the Retrospective The Italian Cultural Institute and the Institut français, London, in collaboration with Cinecittà Holding are delighted to present a fortnight-long tribute to maverick Italian director Marco Ferreri. The retrospective features a representative selection of 13 films from all four decades of his filmmaking career, and showcases impressive (and surprising) performances from some of European cinema’s finest actors, including Marcello Mastroianni, Roberto Benigni, Gérard Dépardieu, Catherine Deneuve, Philippe Noiret, Michel Piccoli and Ugo Tognazzi. A highlight of the season will be the two screenings of Ferreri’s masterpiece La Grande Bouffe (Blow-Out) on a newly-restored print provided by Cinecittà especially for the occasion. As many of Ferreri’s films received no, or very limited, UK release, this season represents a valuable opportunity for film fans to assess or re-asses the work of one of Italian – and world – cinema’s most singular talents.
