Peace and blessing be upon you! I have a question: Why is Moroccan cinema always confined to limited topics and same actors? we are an audience with a taste and like good entertainment and this is what we dont find in Moroccan cinema, which prevents us from competing with other countries despites the fact that we are capable of producing good movies if we want to. Instead we find ourselves recycling the same topics that are only bring the disdain of the audience, let alone the outside world. Why are young people not given the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and join the progress; most celebrities were not famous in the beginning. I hope there is a focus on young films and actors and allow them to participate regardless of their training!

Salam alaikoum. Nice and reasonable words. Unfortunately, all Arab artists were at the beginning new faces. But I read the director Mohamed Ismail saying I don’t work new faces and beginning faces even for a stuntman. Unfortunately, with my respects to him, this kills the Moroccan cinema. It will remain stereotyped. We shouldn’t forget that most famous stars have nothing to do studying cinema and were offered an opportunity to show their talents, studies are just to brighten up their talents no more. How many art students who became artists whose names aren't mentioned in the generic the best example is Adil Imam, Salah Saadani, Yahya El Fakharani...And in the west most famous artists just had the talent.

I wonder why Moroccan cinema is concentrated in only one region of Morocco. For example, we find limited places for the cinema such as Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier and sometimes Tetouan. Why do we not extend the scope of the Moroccan cinema to other regions, look for talents and powers from other regions? Have you ever heard of a film produced in the Eastern region, even if it has extraordinary talents and powers? But it lacks training institutes and centres. We can say may God rest the soul of Moroccan cinema. If we take all Moroccan artists and squeeze them, we will just produce 3 artists of them, the rest is meaningless.

I am a Moroccan man. I love cinema by all standards especially the Moroccan cinema. I have an extraordinary talent in writing scenarios. I am just talking about Western Cinema. I have completed the scenario of a film under the title (Return of the King). I will supervise writing three other film novels: (The Deserted Isle), (Kingdom of Jinns) and (A Trip To Mars). I want help to achieve my dreams. There are young talents which are wasted away. They really want to realize their dreams. I also have talent of commenting Western as well as Moroccan film and determine the category to which the Western film belongs.

The Moroccan cinema experiences a lack of screenwriters. Its films don't have new topics and lack young powers to extract the cinema from its senility which has caused it aging. Morocco has huge talented powers. Therefore, we must make the cinema industry in Morocco contribute to its economy. We are not less competent or have less ideas than any side. We just have a hitch that others present better works than us and we are the worse. However, we can be better if we trust ourselves and worked hard by avoiding excess. Works which won in many international festivals are the best example about that.
