Martin Scorsese Skips Marrakech Film Festival

Martin Scorsese has cancelled his trip to the Marrakech International Film Festival at the eleventh hour, which he was due to attend as the special honorary guest of its 20th edition.

Scorsese has been a long-time supporter of the Moroccan festival having it attended five times in the past and is a close friend of its director Mélita du Toscan

No reason was given the last minute cancellation but sources close to the festival said the director had remained at home in New York for personal reasons.

As well as participating in this year’s 20th edition celebrations, Scorsese had 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.
