Morocco News at Maroc Info

Morocco has long been a mecca for foreign filmmakers. Iconic films like The Last Temptation of Christ and Lawrence of Arabia, as well as more recent films Rendition and Black Hawk Down, use Morocco as their backdrop. Other films like Babel utilize more than Morocco's landscape, taking its culture and people into account as well. Morocco's own burgeoning film industry has produced international hits over the past few years as well: Nabil Ayouch's Ali Zaoua, prince de la rue made waves abroad, drawing comparisons to the inimitable Brazilian film City of God, while 2006's MaRock was particularly notable for its female director, Laïla Marrakchi.
