As part of the 13th edition of the Cinema of Shared Memory Festival in Nador, Spanish journalist and festival board member Rafael Carrero delivered a masterclass on Friday morning for filmmakers participating in the event. Esteemed Spanish directors and critics attended as honored guests, contributing to the educational experience by sharing their insights with emerging filmmakers and cinephiles.
Students from Nador’s Spanish Institute “Lope de Vega” had a special opportunity to engage in this cinematic workshop, gaining direct exposure to renowned figures in Spanish cinema. The session included lively discussions on evolving cinematic ideas, modern techniques in directing and production, and a critical analysis of selected films from the festival’s lineup. This interactive format allowed participants to deepen their understanding of film through practical examples and professional critique.
Carrero’s workshop aims to strengthen cultural exchange between Morocco and Spain by using the festival as a bridge for artistic collaboration. Events like these offer Moroccan youth a chance to connect with Spanish film professionals, benefiting from their knowledge and critical perspectives, ultimately enriching their own cinematic journeys. Through diverse programming, the festival reinforces its role as a hub for artistic and cultural dialogue, elevating Nador’s reputation as a vibrant center for cultural exchange and fostering shared memories between Morocco and Spain.
