A group of writers, artists, historians, and film critics founded the Cinema and History Festival association earlier week in Marrakech, according to Hespress AR. 

The association was founded following extensive discussions and consultations among the group, “it was necessary to create a framework with professionals knowledgeable about cinematic affairs and history, schools, and historical perceptions,” according to the association.

This association was established at a time when local cinema was thriving, national, and international film festivals. These festivals, like the Marrakech International Film Festival, combine cinema in its relationships with special topics and varied sectors.

“We will follow a thematic approach in our research on cinema to better understand this subject and this artistic form that is connected to issues of identity and homeland, past, present, and future, as well as issues of time and transitions”, according to a statement from the Film and History Festival Association.

 Mohamed Ait Lamim, a translator and academic researcher, Mostafa Gholman, a journalist and poet, and Mohamed Ashweka, a film critic and researcher, founded the association.
