Chinese movies shine in Morocco

RABAT, MOROCCO - The 23rd edition of the International Mediterranean Film Festival opened on Saturday in Morocco's northern city of Tetouan, with China as the guest of honor. The festival, which runs until April 2, will screen several Chinese movies reflecting various areas of China's film industry.

Among the movies, which will be screened during the festival, there are Wu Ershan's movie Mojin: The Lost Legend, Dante Lam's Operation Mekong, Xu Haofeng's The Master and Cao Baoping's The Dead End.

"In the past few editions, the festival has opened up to countries outside of the Mediterranean region. We hosted the Iranian, Mexican and Chilean movies and today we chose China," the director of the festival Ahmed EL Housni told Xinhua.
