Marrakech is getting ready for another serious dose of cinema, and this year’s guest list is looking pretty impressive.
The 23rd Marrakech International Film Festival, taking place from November 20 to 28, has announced that Jeff Goldblum, John Turturro and Moroccan actor and musician Younès Mégri will receive special tributes celebrating their careers.
And yes, that means Jeff Goldblum is coming to Morocco.
If you’ve watched Jurassic Park, Thor: Ragnarok or the Wicked movies, you’ve probably come across his work. Goldblum has spent decades building a career that moves between blockbusters, independent films and everything in between.
John Turturro brings another impressive filmography, with memorable roles in The Big Lebowski and the series Severance.
But one of the most meaningful parts of the announcement is the recognition of Younès Mégri.
The Moroccan artist has contributed to both music and cinema, and his inclusion places Moroccan talent alongside major international names.
The festival is also bringing back its Conversations programme, giving audiences opportunities to hear directly from filmmakers and actors about their experiences.
Other expected participants include Monica Bellucci, Luca Guadagnino, Rian Johnson and Xavier Dolan.
For Moroccan film lovers, events like these create something that doesn’t happen every day: a chance to experience international cinema culture without leaving the country.
And beyond the celebrity appearances, the festival remains an important space for discovering new filmmakers, watching different kinds of cinema and celebrating storytelling.
So, if you’re into movies, Marrakech might be where you want to be this November.
