With 29% of Moroccan films dealing with migration as the main topic, the objectives of this paper are to establish the most recurrent migration thematic lines and to determine how migration topics have evolved from 1958 – the year in which the first postcolonial film was produced- to 2015. A sample of 89 migration films included in the Moroccan Cinematographic Center's catalogue has been explored by way of narrative and contextual analysis. The methodology has been complemented with in-depth interviews with eleven Moroccan directors. Our findings allow us to confirm that there is a close relationship between the production of migration films in Morocco and the socio-political evolution of the phenomenon. The most active production period occurred from 2008 to 2011. The largest number of films belongs to the category 'migration/immigration cinema' (18 films, 20, 2%). Secondly, the most talked about topic has been the 'return home' (16 films, 17,9%), and thirdly, that of 'diasporic cinema'. Furthermore, Moroccan cinema has covered all the different phases of migration in a very balanced way, showing coherent cinematographic reaction mechanisms towards social reality. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
