Four movies that have benefited from the support of “Atlas Workshops” are included in the Cannes selections, announced Tuesday the Marrakech International Film Festival Foundation.<\/P>

The foundation welcomed, in a statement, “the strong presence of Moroccan cinema in Cannes this year,” stressing that it is “a historic presence, since it is the first time that Morocco participates with three films”.<\/P>

Two Moroccan movies in the “Un Certain Regard” section, a Jordanian film in “Critics’ Week”, a Moroccan film in the ” Directors’ Fortnight”: through these selections, the Atlas Workshops, the Marrakech International Film Festival’s talent development industry program, created in 2018, confirms its role as an incubator and a key professional platform in the region, said the statement.<\/P>

Presented twice at the Atlas Workshops, “the mother of all lies” by Asmae El Moudir had won the development award in 2019 and the post-production award in 2021.<\/P>

“The packs” by Kamal Lazraq had, meanwhile, obtained the Artekino International award at the 2019 edition, recalled the same source, adding that the 2 films will be presented in the section “Un Certain Regard” in Cannes, next May.<\/P>
<\/P>
Selected for Critics’ Week, “Inshallah a boy” by Amjad Al Rasheed, winner of the 2022 workshop post-production award, is the first Jordanian film to take part in the Cannes Film Festival, all sections included.<\/P>

“Deserts” by Faouzi Bensa\u00efdi, presented in the Atlas Film Showcase section last November in Marrakech, will be screened at the Directors’ Fortnight.<\/P>
