Martin Scorsese has been confirmed as a special guest of the upcoming Marrakech International Film Festival as it gears up for its 20th edition, running from November 24 to December 2.
Scorsese, whose new movie Killers of the Flower Moon begins its worldwide rollout in early October, is a long-time supporter of the Moroccan festival and has attended five times.
As well as participating in this year’s 20th edition celebrations, he has also agreed to take on the role of patron of the sixth edition of the Atlas Workshops, the festival’s industry program dedicated to emerging talent from the African continent and the Arab world.
“I am always happy to be returning to my beloved Marrakech Film Festival—when I haven’t been able to attend in person, I’ve always been there in spirit,” Scorsese said in a statement.
“For this very special anniversary edition of the festival, I have been entrusted with a precious task: to interact with young filmmakers and help to guide them on their way. I look forward to seeing old friends, and to making new ones.”
Launched by Marrakech in 2018, the Atlas Workshops has supported more than 111 projects and films over its first five editions.
Four of the Middle East and North Africa titles playing in Cannes this year had gone through its program, including Un Certain Regard Best Director winner The Mother Of All Lies by Asmae El Moudir (which also won L’Œil d’Or for Best Documentary) and Un Certain Regard Jury Prize winner Hounds by Kamal Lazraq.
Amjad Al Rasheed’s Inshallah A Boy, which screened in Critics’s Week and has since been selected for TIFF, and Directors’ Fortnight title Deserts by Faouzi Bensaïdi were also past participants.
Scorsese will take part in several sessions with the project

With another feature on the way to theaters in “Killers Of The Flower Moon,” it’s time for Martin Scrosese to start making his press rounds. An early stop on the tour? Time Magazine, and IndieWire reports via the publication’s new video interview with the director that Scorsese revealed he’s not keen on Top 10 Films lists.

When it comes to Fall 2023 theatrical releases, none may be more anticipated than Martin Scorsese‘s “Killers Of The Flower Moon.” Scorsese’s adaptation of David Grann‘s 2017 book of the same name already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to much acclaim. But as the film approaches its October theatrical release, EW reports that the director wants to emphasize how different his movie is from Grann’s book despite following the same historical events.
Brent Lang Executive Editor Talk about ending with a flourish.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director A lot of articles exist on the internet listing the movies Martin Scorsese considers to be the best films of all time, but he’s not actually in favor of such rankings. Speaking to Time magazine for a video interview (see below), the “Taxi Driver” and “The Departed” icon said he is generally against top 10 best lists. “I’ve tried to make lists over the years of films I personally feel are my favorites, whatever that means,” Scorsese said.
The new trailer for “Killers of the Flower Moon” is here.

For an hour, Finestkind is the kind of movie they don’t make any more, and just when you’re starting to adapt to its gentle, circadian rhythms (which is about halfway through), it becomes the kind of movie they make all the time. Though it just about works, it’s a curious hybrid of emotional felladrama and gangster realism, something writer Brian Helgeland has essayed before, notably with his script for Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River. A few years back, this could have been a Malpaso production too, and it’s not hard to imagine Eastwood in the role played here by Tommy Lee Jones, an awards-friendly supporting role that gives the veteran actor his very own mini-Gran Torino.

Altering an initial platform-release plan, Apple Original Films will instead launch the Cannes Film Festival hit Killers of the Flower Moon to a wide global theatrical release October 20.
