Morocco hails Indonesian film

RABAT, Morocco (ANTARA): Indonesia's Tjoet Nya' Dhien, a film dwelling on the heroic struggle an Acehnese heroine against colonial rule, won kudos at the Fifth Asian Film Festival recently, held in Khemisset, about 90 kilometers from here.

After seeing the film, the director of the festival, Mohammed El-Rachek, told Antara that he was sure Indonesian films could enjoy a spot in the hearts of Moroccan film enthusiasts, and take the place of films from other Asian countries in the Moroccan film market.

El-Rachek expressed the hope that Indonesia would also be represented in another film festival to be held in Morocco in December. He said the Indonesian representative office in Morocco had welcomed the idea of sending Indonesian films to the upcoming festival.

The Fifth Asian Film Festival in Morocco was participated in by four other countries, Japan, Korea, Morocco and Pakistan.
