Two years ago, I saw a very good film from Morocco at this festival, which helped to prepare me for my visit to the country that December.
This year there are a number of comedies on the schedule including "Hassan & Morcos" from Egypt, starring Omar Sharif, "Number One" from Morocco, which looks at changing gender roles, and "Laila's Birthday," set in the occupied territories.
