MARRAKECH, Morocco – Canadian cinema will be in the spotlight at the Marrakech Film Festival.
The Moroccan movie marathon says it will present a trophy to director Atom Egoyan and a delegation of Canuck directors and writers.
It’s part of a tribute to Canadian films, with the award presentation set for Sunday.
Egoyan’s latest feature “Remember” is being screening out-of-competition while Canuck director Stephen Dunn will compete with his debut feature “Closet Monster.”
Previous Marrakech festivals have saluted filmmakers from the United Kingdom, Mexico, Scandinavia and Japan.
The nine-day festival begins Friday.
