00:00Welcome to Mediïn TV and Zoom in this cultural chronicle on a director but also a Moroccan producer Khalid Zahiri
00:16who participated in the 24th edition of the Tanger Film Festival in the official competition
00:23as well as in the documentary category as a director of Moraella
00:28but also as a producer in the feature film category
00:34since he produced the film of Mohamed Cheref Trevok, Journal Intime
00:40Khalid Zahiri who makes us the pleasure and honor to be among us
00:44Khalid Zahiri, thank you very much for accepting our invitation
00:47Producer and director, what is the cap that you like the most?
00:52First of all, I would like to salute the efforts of the cinematographic center
00:58and especially the festival team for this new organization, these new spaces
01:06and for all the welcome, really it is something very very commendable
01:12and it is a pride for us producers and directors to participate in this edition
01:21The cap that I prefer is that of the director because the director space is a space
01:28in which I can express my vision as a person, my artistic vision
01:38and it is also an opportunity for me to better understand
01:46the climate of a relationship that can be tied between a director and a producer
01:52Khalid Zahiri, as I was saying, you are the director of Moraella,
01:56Journal Intime of Cheref Trevok, you are the producer
02:00What makes a producer choose to produce such and such a director
02:07whether it is long fiction, short film or documentary?
02:12The first thing is beyond the feasibility of the project, of the economic feasibility
02:18For me, the most important thing is whether the director has a vision with which I agree
02:29Is the director aware of the impact of his vision on the film itself
02:38on all the work that is going to be done on his film
02:48It is also a relationship between a director and a producer
02:54It is a marriage relationship with everything that this relationship can mean
03:01in terms of listening, understanding, being conciliatory, sharing
03:12All these things are part of this relationship
03:17It is a relationship that is not only part of the time of the film
03:22but it is a relationship that is part of beyond the film
03:26Of course there are times when there are ups and downs
03:29But the most important thing is the interest of the film
03:33and the interest of not losing this vision on the basis of which there was this marriage
03:41Khalil Zahedi, as I was saying, you are a director, you are also a producer
03:47At the 24th edition of the Tanger Film Festival, it is also an opportunity to debate
03:54Why are we still talking about financing today, about the problem of financing
04:00when we talk about Moroccan cinema, whether it is in terms of national production
04:06Foreign production is a little easier, but why are we still talking about it?
04:12We are still talking about it and we have talked about it
04:17and we will always talk about it
04:20as long as there is no political will to consider culture and cinema especially as a public service
04:34As long as we have not had this consideration, there will always be debate
04:39because more and more we see young talents who want to express themselves
04:47and the money from the aid fund today is not enough
04:57With the change in the standard of living, with all the new obligations
05:03the fund cannot satisfy everyone
05:08and now when we give so and so amount for a film
05:14of course we have to look for other funding
05:19but this debate is a debate that must be reconsidered
05:29both by the public authorities but also by professionals
05:34Khalil Zahedi, thank you very much for accepting our invitation
05:37I remind you that you are a director and producer
05:41and that you participated in the 24th edition of the Tanger National Film Festival
05:46as a director for your last documentary, Mora Ella
05:50and as a producer for the last film of Mohamed Sheikh Trebek
05:55and it's called Intimate Journal
