Los Angeles, Nov 4 (NationPress) The forthcoming Marrakech Film Festival is set to celebrate the remarkable careers of actress-director Jodie Foster, acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, Moroccan actress Raouya, and Egyptian actor-director-producer Hussein Fahmi.

The festival is scheduled to take place from November 28 to December 6. Foster will unveil her latest film 'Vie Privee' (A Private Life) directed by Rebecca Zlotowski, while Guillermo will showcase his film 'Frankenstein', according to reports from Variety.

In a statement, Foster expressed her excitement, saying, “What an honor to discover your beautiful city of Marrakech and to celebrate film simultaneously. I can’t wait to experience the historic sites, gardens, and markets, to walk alongside new friends, colleagues, and movie lovers.”

Guillermo shared his enthusiasm about being invited back to the wonderful Marrakech International Film Festival, stating, “Since my previous visit, both the festival and the city have always been so welcoming to me. I’m especially honored to receive a tribute and to show the audience my most personal work, ‘Frankenstein’.”

Raouya remarked, “What joy and emotion to be celebrated in my own country, in the ochre city, at one of its largest film events. Above all, my connection to the festival is a story of friendship and loyalty. Every encounter with Marrakech and its audience remains a precious moment for me; I have so many memories of exciting films and exchanges.”

Fahmi reflected, “Being one of those who attended the festival’s first edition gives me great energy and enthusiasm to reunite with colleagues and friends from across the globe. The city of Marrakech holds a special place in my heart, as one of my earliest films, 'Damy wadmoy waebtsamty' (My Blood, My Tears, My Smile), was filmed there. Returning to this joyful city to be honored is a very precious moment.”
