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.
