Movie theatres were empty for nearly two years and these days are typically at 30% capacity \u2014 in Europe at any rate \u2014 so filmmakers not only struggle to obtain funding and get their pictures produced, they also rely more and more on video-on-demand sales, so that their work can find an audience. While on the face of it, this affords greater democratic distribution (more people are connected to the net these days because of the pandemic), the beauty of cinema is still to be found sitting in an expansive hall, filled with other moviegoers.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, watching on the small screen or a handheld device has shrunk our world, and has endangered the 7<sup>th<\/sup> art.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10509\" style=\"width: 629px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10509\" src=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/simone-bitton-and-abdellatif-kechiche-the-markaz-review.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"629\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/simone-bitton-and-abdellatif-kechiche-the-markaz-review.jpg 629w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/simone-bitton-and-abdellatif-kechiche-the-markaz-review-600x191.jpg 600w, https:\/\/themarkaz.org\/oldmarkaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/simone-bitton-and-abdellatif-kechiche-the-markaz-review-300x95.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Franco-Moroccan director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemed.tm.fr\/actualites\/simone-bitton-invitee-du-44e-cinemed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Simone Bitton<\/a> and Franco-Tunisian director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemed.tm.fr\/actualites\/abdellatif-kechiche-invite-du-44e-cinemed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abdellatif K\u00e9chiche<\/a>,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is why I become so animated at the advent of attending a film festival, and the 44<sup>th<\/sup> annual CINEMED in Montpellier just held its first press conference this morning, discussing the roster of films and filmmakers (dozens) to be presented from the 21<sup>st<\/sup> to the 29<sup>th<\/sup> of October. Among the filmmaker retrospectives will be screenings devoted to French-Moroccan documentarian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemed.tm.fr\/actualites\/simone-bitton-invitee-du-44e-cinemed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Simone Bitton<\/a> and Franco-Tunisian director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemed.tm.fr\/actualites\/abdellatif-kechiche-invite-du-44e-cinemed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abdellatif K\u00e9chiche<\/a>, as well as Spanish director Ic\u00edar Bollain. Bitton, a renowned pacificist, is Arab and Jewish and has devoted much of her career to underdogs including the Palestinians, and to supporting Muslim-Jewish entente.<\/p>\n<p>CINEMED, for those unfamiliar with it, screens a broad range of movies from around the Mediterranean and neighboring countries, including much of southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. It is a truly democratic and intercultural event, overflowing with cinematic gems.<\/p>\n<p>I first attended CINEMED in 2017, when the central focus of the festival was Algeria and its cin\u00e9astes. I had an opportunity to see films that I likely would not have easily found in local theatres, and spoke with a handful of younger directors, among them Amel Blidi, Sofia Djama, Damien Ouniri, Lyes Salem and Karim Moussaoui. \u201cThe international community has been taking notice of Algeria\u2019s film production since the Black Decade officially ended,\u201d I wrote at the time. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/features\/algerian-new-wave-when-words-are-lacking-thats-where-cinema-comes\">Several directors<\/a> have claimed that they became filmmakers out of an almost dire need to share Algerian stories with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Bitton and Abdellatif, other Arab filmmakers who will attend CINEMED during the screenings of their films include Mounia Meddour, Rachida Brakni, Ramzi Ben Sliman, Erige Sehiri, Rachid Bouchareb and Roschdy Zem. Several screenings will be avant-premi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have got to advocate for culture,\u201d Montpellier\u2019s mayor, Michel Delafosse, insisted at this morning\u2019s press conference. A strong supporter of building cultural bridges, he added: \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s inconceivable to fear others; on the contrary, we\u2019ve got to come towards them.\u201d Delafosse criticized the illiberal and xenophobic policies of Vladimir Putin and Hungary\u2019s Viktor Orban, while another speaker on the dais, Leoluca Orlando, called out Italy\u2019s expected new prime minister, the extreme rightwinger Giorgia Meloni, when he said that, \u201cThere\u2019s a problem in our time with freedom, and this our chance to support it.\u201d Orlando, the former mayor of Palermo, is this year\u2019s guest president of CINEMED. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemed.tm.fr\/\">CINEMED site<\/a> for details, and if you\u2019re in Montpellier this season, I look forward to seeing you in a movie theatre, soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montpellier&#8217;s venerable Mediterranean film festival announces retrospectives and avant-premi\u00e8res.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,51,55],"tags":[105,149,223,1154,1575,1727],"article-category":[],"article-type":[],"coauthors":[2196],"class_list":["post-10507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-review","category-tmr-weekly","category-what-were-into","tag-abdellatif-krechiche","tag-algeria","tag-arab-film","tag-moroccan-cinema","tag-simone-bitton","tag-tunisia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.5 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>44th CINEMED fest to F\u00eate Simone Bitton &amp;
