for the gala screening of Touzani’s debut feature, “Adam,” on Tuesday. The film, written by her, with the collaboration of Ayouch, and produced by the latter, is Morocco’s entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.
The case triggered an international outcry and sparked a major social movement in Morocco including a petition signed by more than 10,000 people, and a statement signed by hundreds of Moroccan women, entitled “We, Moroccan citizens, declare that we are outlaws,” that was published by Moroccan media outlets and France’s Le Monde newspaper.
“You have to remember that around 40% of Morocco’s population is still illiterate,” says Touzani. “Cinema and TV can play an important role because they’re accessible to everyone and can change people’s mentalities, by attracting audiences to our cinemas, inspiring public debate in the media and reaching people’s homes via television.”
“After ‘Much Loved’ I had the feeling that I was pretty much alone,” explains Ayouch. “But things are changing quickly and seem to have come to a head this year.” Touzani and Ayouch, in conjunction with Rita El Quessar, are completing the scripts for “Blackout,” an eight-hour real-time, near-future social-issue thriller drama series, set on the border of Europe and Africa in and around Ceuta, one of Spain’s enclaves in Morocco.
