Movies of morocco

Moroccan cinema includes both movies, television and film productions produced in Morocco. In contrast to other cinemas' of Europe or North Africa , the Moroccan government has long left the cinema find itself the means necessary for its survival and national and international development, thus creating an imbalance between commercial cinema ( often poor) and esthétisant to essentially elitist mainstream cinema. The French Protectorate of Morocco (1912-1956) had established a censorship board that survived to independence. This regulator is busy until seventy years mainly to control the distribution of foreign films due to still weak domestic production compared to that of neighboring francophone countries 115 . Thus, Morocco left the field open to other competitors theaters that are readily affirmed to the Moroccan public, and now he must face him with several years of delay. The same is true for other artistic areas such as music, for example.
Recently, the country's cultural policy has changed (especially under the leadership of the International Film Festival of Marrakech), Morocco has just acquired a brand new film industry (see below) . To date, Moroccan cinema progresses and many prospects look promising, Moroccan cinema is increasingly selected and / or award in the Arab, African and Western festivals, encouraging more young people to embark on a career in the 7 th art (see below challenges and strengths of Moroccan cinema .) This progress is also a reference to African cinema.
