His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid

President of the Foundation of the International Film Festival of Marrakech

At this sixth edition of the International Film Festival of Marrakech (IFFM), I look back on the journey covered since 2001 and I note with pride that cinematographic Morocco has changed, progressed and laid down the foundations liable to guarantee a sustainable development of our young image and sound industry. 

IFFM has surely played and will yet have to play an important role in this process of development. And it is not by chance that the IFFM Foundation commits itself in an assured fashion in the way of diversifying its activities so that the festival is given a continuous impetus by initiatives which sustain, as a resounding echo, the magic moment that is embodied by these nine days of cinema and dream on which we meet again every year.

As the president of the Foundation of the International Film Festival of Marrakech, I call upon all those who love cinema and life to come and reinforce by their passion our young festival which, from now on, cannot be bypassed, since it is only together that we build up the future of our cinematographies.

His Royal Highness
Prince Moulay Rachid
