The 20th edition of the Marrakech Film Festival is underway, marked by challenges including the aftermath of the Atlas Mountains earthquake and the Israel-Hamas conflict. Despite these difficulties, the festival has garnered support from prominent figures in the film industry such as Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep, Willem Dafoe, Tilda Swinton, and Jessica Chastain. The festival has seen Mads Mikkelsen receive the Étoile d'Or honorary prize, and Martin Scorsese's delay in mentoring MENA filmmakers due to personal reasons. Additionally, the SAG-AFTRA strike has come to an end, with synthetic performers winning big in the agreement with studios.
