The organizers decided to postpone the festival because of "lack of funds", he said, lamenting the "few cases done by the commission grants" to their case by not giving "a sum by way of poor support, "unlike other events.

Deploring the "persistence of logic favoring the center at the expense of margin," he said as seminars, conferences, round tables and other parallel activities originally scheduled between 4 and March 9, will be maintained with the same stakeholders.

Contacted by MAP, the chairman of the Committee on film festivals, Hassan Smili, assured that the festival "Cinema and migration," festival ranked Class C has indeed a "very good" content and continue to enjoy particular interest because of its "good reputation."

" To keep a festival in Agadir is a plus, given the importance of this region in the strategy which favors our commission in its work of distribution and parity between the regions," he said.

Mr. Smili said that the festival of Agadir is known to have filed an application before June 5, to be eligible, as its peers in other regions, will be consistently supported during the second meeting of the Committee, scheduled for late June or early July.
