Marrakech Film Fest Artistic Director on Why Having Jacob Elordi and Andrew Garfield as Jurors ‘Means a Lot’ for Young Filmmakers
Marrakech Film Festival chief Rémi Bonhomme on this year's standout edition and why having Jacob Elordi as juror 'means a lot' for young filmmakers.
Big names set to make the trek to Morocco include Sean Penn, Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci, Alfonso Cuarón, Justine Triet, Ava DuVernay and David Cronenberg.
