On my own volition, I am writing about the fact that the wining movies in Ifrane really deserved their status. Mainly “Memoire Chronisme” by Karim Tajouaout, who I think really deserves applauds for understanding the real meaning behind a short film, “Fear” by Nassim Elabed, “Lalla Aicha”, and “Thursday”. Or, “Maroc électronique” in the category of documentaries. Initially, I thought that this film by Nada Allouch was shot on demand and was funded by someone. Until I discovered that its director worked on it with only what she had available. Here, you can realize that even though many of our young people get the help and support needed, their work is unfortunately not given the right opportunity to be showcased during the national festival in Tangier. None of us will be able to understand the reason behind their absence during festivals that are funded using allocated public money. Sadly, some of these movies are lost for sure.

On my own volition, I refused to be part of the jury of the last edition of the National festival of Tangier. I accepted and will accept being part of any training institutions’ jury because meeting the youth of tomorrow is better, more important, and merciful than the formalities that I prefer avoiding even in global festivals. I participated and will participate in The Al Akhawayn Short Film Festival, that was brought to success thanks to professor Naziha Houki, just like how I will very soon in Marrakech School of Cinema.
