Alain Sarde ,an Utopian Film Producer

Allal Speaking out to find Moroccan Producers rather than the foreign ones in 2006 at FIFM film conference done for The Fawzi Saiidi 's movie " what a wonderful world".



Finding producers in Morocco

To judge whether cinema at home has achieved nervana in production making remains a guestion of controvercy and critiria especially talking about how to finance movies nationally .Surely the emergence of new young energy is rather giving Moroccan cinema a new sigh .After liberation from French colonists (see 1958 bills and acts) and apart from Hamid Bennani 's movie ( Washma) and Reguab 's ( Hallaq Derb Al Foukara), cinema productions, at that time, were really bad as far as techniques and savoir faire as concerned, but now with the help of both the state ( CCM strategies) and also European aids , movies of (H. BELABBES, F. BNSAIDI, N. NEJJAR, S. FARROUKHI…) have let good impresssions either internationally and nationally by film critics .

However , cinemagoers in Morocco would love to see national producersimposing themselves rather than foreign ones who, some of them backed by their governement , pour millions and millions of Euros to deepen their facon d'etre ( see imposing french language and the way of french thinking ) .

So, now again the question is in the hand of both the state and individuals , strengthen policies of finding new mechanisms of how to encourage home film producers might give Morocco a nice push and a handsome position cinematically speaking in order to take the lead in Africa , otherwise our screen -theatres project only mediocre films and culturaly speaking what the north want to watch (prototypes of submitted and stupid Moroccans) besides people would hate more filmmakers to shoot their films on their streets just as they did to Kamal Kamal when he wanted to begin shooting his TV Telefim ' Rgagna ' in Essaouira recently .(Allal El Alaoui)
