The Moroccan Association of Toronto invites you to the screening of two Moroccan movies on Saturday April 4 at1pm and 3pm as part of Cinéfranco film festival 2009. Hands And Cloth (Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 1:00PM): Synopsis: Mnaouer, a gifted young puppeteer, goes to Casablanca in order to pursue acting classes, with the benediction of the chief (hilarious) of his little village. Confronted by a new universe that is strange and rich, Mnaouer discovers a sense of purpose in his life and his art. Starting from a factual event, Omar Chraïbi weaves a moving story, paced with laughing and tears. The actors illuminate the fitting comic and dramatic aspects of this tale, imbued with humanism and a profound reflection on the role of the artist, movingly symbolized by Mnaouer. A delicious film, with a humorous irreverence towards con artists! The lost beauty (Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 3:00PM): Synopsis: Oud l'Ward, a slave who is a gifted lutenist, is sold to a rich music master, who decides to make her his student. Her success with the rich music-lovers of Fez, turns out to be a poisoned gift. The other slaves, the master's wives, and the master himself become ferociously jealous, and turn on her. A masterpiece both for its enchanting aesthetic beauty and brilliant actors, and the refinement of its filmmaker, Lahcen Zinoun! The movies will be screened at Royal cinema at 608 College St |
