Great reunion between the public and the Marrakech International Film Festival. On Friday November 11, 2022, the 19th edition of the event was finally able to open its doors, in the beautiful ocher city, after two years of absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But the illness, the difficulties… everything seems so far away as soon as the magic of the seventh art operates. And to operate, she operated on Monday, November 14, 2022! For this fourth day of the program, celebrities walked the red carpet to attend the gala evening organized around the screening of the film The Syndicalistby Jean-Paul Salome.
Many of them paraded in front of the Palais des Congrès, in particular the heroine of this drama which will be released in France from March 1, 2023.

The Marrakech International Film Festival was created in 2001 by King Mohammed VI. This 19th edition, that of the reunion, will end on Saturday November 19, 2022. Fifteen films are, in total, in competition. The Syndicalist, which was screened on this fourth day, tells the true story of Maureen Kearney, CFDT delegate at Areva, who, in 2012, became a whistleblower to denounce a state secret that shook the nuclear industry in France. To discover this new performance by Isabelle Huppert, we will, unfortunately, have to wait several more months…
