The Documentary Film Festival (FidaDoc) continues to enliven the city of Agadir. Artists, teachers, young and old, gather every day under the banner of creativity and sharing. During the second day of the festival, the "Documentary Hive" was launched. This is an educational support programme intended for young documentary filmmakers or audiovisual students. This sixth class includes no fewer than 30 students and 20 project leaders, mentored by Jean-Pierre Thorn, with professional meetings and masterclasses with seasoned and gifted directors. Young students from faculties and film schools participate in creative workshops alongside the directors present at FidaDoc. In parallel, the first school sessions took place with the screening of the films "Into darkness" and "Une fuite sans fin". Some 500 children, both curious and moved, were able to ask their questions to the directors and did not fail to share their reactions with passion and curiosity.
The day ended with an open-air screening in Biougra of the film "Tisseuse de rêves". The third day was marked by creative workshops between directors, teachers, and students. The public and FidaDoc participants also attended screenings of "The revolution will not be televised", "Olmo and the Seagull", "Wachmn’hal", and "Ba Smina". On 6 May, the public had an appointment with the documentary "A house without television". This film by the Moroccan Mohamed Msahal tells the story of the friendship between Fatima, who loves the small screen, and Zineb, who refuses to watch television. On the programme for the same day were "The cow farm" (Egypt, Syria), "Alisa in Warland" (Ukraine, Poland), and "The Nile Bride" (France, Egypt). Under the theme of COP 22, Jan Kounen and Anne Paris from France will present their film "Mère Océan", which deals with the incredible story of a pregnancy experienced in close proximity to wild marine mammals. The festival continues until Saturday 7 May with other screenings and artistic meetings.
This day features the film "Hajwalah", a dive into the great desert metropolis, Riyadh, through the practice of "wild" car rallying, and "Speed Sisters", the fierce competition between three young Palestinian women who make up the first all-female car racing team in the Middle East. FidaDoc will close with "Rough Stage" by Toomas Jarvet (Estonia, Palestine). The documentary is about Maher who, despite the disapproval of those around him and the lack of means, is determined to stage the first modern dance performance in Ramallah. All screenings of the international competition take place at the City Hall, Brahim Radi hall.
