You can’t get more of a best of the film festival circuit than what the Marrakech International Film Festival is offering this year. Opening with Gus Van Sant‘s Dead Man’s Wire and closing with Annemarie Jacir‘s Palestine 36, we’ve got the Palme d’Or winner, the Golden Lion winner and Telluride/TIFF heartbreaker selected for the 22nd edition (which takes place between November 28th to December 6th). IONCINEMA will be on the grounds daikly.
Included in the Gala Screenings we find the likes of Guillermo del Toro, Chloé Zhao and Rebecca Zlotowski. In the Horizons section we have the best from Venice in Jim Jarmusch, Park Chan-wook, Ildikó Enyedi and Kaouther Ben Hania. The 11th Continent section offers us gems such as Hlynur Pálmason‘s The Love That Remains and Oliver Laxe‘s Sirât. Here are all the films (excluding the competition films which we focus on here).
