Writing about
Moroccan history is not easy .Yet, this fact is tackled by both Khalid Akalai,
novelist and Allal El Alaoui,filmmaker,together they have written a script
based on a literary work by Khalid himself
named The Threshold .First ;the location was Tetuan but because of luck of support of this northen
city, the shortfilm is shot in Kenitra.
Immediately
after being introduced to the cinematic commission in 2013 spearhead by
Abdelkrim Berrechid , the commission says yes to fund the shortfilm and Allal
El Alaoui will assure its film direction.
The step
is about an arabo-andalousian facet changing from beauty to ugliness presented
by a Moroccan family that goes through hardships and political turmoil just to
find its indentity.All important historical events starting from 1940 up to 21
century ; are performed by professional actors just like Nouria Benbrahim,
Rachid Rhalmi,Larbi Sassi,Othman Alaoui ,Abdessamad El Ghorfi ; Sanae El Alaoui
and not forgetting the marvelous collaboration of Kenitra local community chaired by Rachid
Belmaquissia.We have to mention also the cast coming from civil society that has accepted to give a
hand to Siham Alaoui ,the manager of Cinema And Movies Company.
Technically
speaking, the vision of the director is translated successfully by Zakaria Ain,director
of photography and Soulyman Ouali , cameraman,M’Hamed Belmiloudi ,lighter,Larbi
Benshili ,make up,Ouafae Salim ;script-girl and Zhor Idrissi as a costumist.
