We,cinemagoers in Morooco find the idea of publishing a new magazine called MarocArts, that deals with artists and cinema in Morocco in general,a very fascinating gesture from Frites.
MarocArts has a beautiful goal for cinephiles and Moroccans who feel thrown away or rejected ,states Sifeddine Dounia, the publisher of the magazine.The main topics of this magazine are meant to stand by those who don 't have yet the chance to work in cinema, Theatre , or else .Apparently,there are too many people who intrude this field of mysterious Arts or become quickly artists (see the magical tool : copy and paste ) because they are lucky to have a telephone call from HACA,PDG,or a well known familly cast like a Fassy,or a Rbaty... ( see the hiarchy of politics in Morooco )
Mohamoud frites keeps to impress the national media in Morooco which is really busy to give only full support to foreigners and write about their intimacy of life ,unfortunately the press forgets to highlight lives of our native ones.
From this context, i, Allal El Alaoui, am in total agreement with what Mohamoud Frites is doing especially we still see our Media , gouverned by either a secret lobby,ignorant responsables or unmerciful authority which keeps to lurk in the affair of true artists and film-makers.Therefore, i have written to Frites an email saying to him ;because there are too many international lectures of my blog ( Allal-cinemagoers) i would like to just translate his 16 Frites questions concerning Media here in Morooco , hopefully to find any serious listeners which is a matter of
pure consciousness , otherwise thanks to Bill Gates,the prophet of information ( the Internet ) to communicate this article around the world.
Reading out these Frites questions memorises me of those pure bureacracts who would hate you so much because they don't want you to work for this country;may be it is out of their malicious jealousy or nasty machiavilism. I really find these questions truthful ,because there are too many persona-non grata,( Hot headed artists as the media responsibles would call them ) in their genre of Arts who would tell you how badly are being marginalized and abondoned by either CCM lecture commissions ,or sado-mazochistic mentalities in SNRT which carries on rejecting to produce good works and from also 2M Soriad stubborn and cold indifference mastermind towards true Artists.
