Within the framework of the 'Three Cultures with You' project, the Fundación Tres Culturas, in collaboration with the FCAT, is offering a film cycle that shows, through four titles, different visions of Morocco's recent past.
According to the Moroccan Film Centre (CCM), Moroccan cinema is booming, with some 15 feature films and 50 short films being produced annually. Year after year, progress is made in production circuits, audience attendance and the fight against piracy, as well as the development of film festivals, such as those in Marrakech, Khouribga, Tangiers and Salé (Women's Film Festival).
This cycle, designed to be enjoyed at home, offers an overview of films in which Morocco is the protagonist, including works by Spanish and Moroccan directors who portray different experiences, situations, themes and visions of the neighbouring country.

The orchestra of the blind
Mohamed Mouftakir. Francia, Marruecos, 2014, 110 min.
Durante los primeros años del reinado de Hassan II, Houcine, un admirador del nuevo rey, lidera una orquesta muy popular. Vive con su esposa Halima en la casa familiar, un hogar lleno de vida con personajes originales que se entrecruzan al ritmo de la orquesta y sus bailarinas tradicionales, las Chikhates. Los músicos de esta orquesta algo especial se ven obligados a fingir ceguera para tocar en las fiestas reservadas a las mujeres en las familias más conservadoras.
The film podrá verse en este enlace desde el martes a las 20.00h hasta el viernes a las 20.00h.
