Each year, celebrities descend on Morocco to attend the Marrakech International Film Festival, enjoy warm weather, luxurious resorts and laud the power of cinema. This year's event wrapped up on Saturday and featured stars such as actor Sean Penn and director Luca Guadagnino.

Sixteen years after Taia came out in Moroccan media and 11 years after he released his first film with gay protagonists, the subject of “Cabo Negro” isn’t new. Nor was his statement out of step with the actors and directors who similarly laud what movies are capable of at the festival.How ‘Mufasa’ rose with Aaron Pierre and Blue Ivy’s voices along with new Lin-Manuel Miranda musicand director Luca Guadagnino.

Morocco’s film authority has offered $5.9 million in support to 32 films this year, roughly $184,000 per movie. Because it often costs more for movies to make it to the screen, the majority of films seek state or private funds outside Morocco, either in Europe or the Middle East. Such a funding landscape boosts films with narratives that can win approval from Moroccan authorities and also appeal to what western producers think about Morocco.

“If the CCM is against you, you find funding outside. But you still must shoot the movie in Morocco, so you need the ‘OK’ from the CCM,” the producer added, using the French acronym for Morocco’s film authority. “There’s a sort of paradox that I haven’t been able to explain to myself about how the market works. … Social films that might be less audience-friendly get a lot more spectators,” director Yasmine Benkiran said on a festival panel on Friday.
