About the event
Catherine Poncin’s documentary « La Septième Porte » explores Morocco’s recent history through cinema buildings from the 1950s to the present. From Casablanca to Fes, Tétouan and Tangier, abandoned, repurposed and restored picture houses reveal the cultural lives of their neighbourhoods. The film combines archival footage, contemporary imagery and memories shared by spectators to offer a personal and collective history of cinema in Morocco.
