Morocco, Local, 9/21/2002
US filmmaker Martin Scorsese voiced "deep regret" not to have been able to take part in the International Film Festival of Marrakesh, emblematic city of a country "which is incontestably my favorite destination."
In a video message, cast Wednesday on the sidelines of a colloquy on "powers and responsibilities," Scorsese said he would have loved to be among "this distinguished gathering of world cinema people."
Speaking on the theme of the encounter, "Taxi Driver" director stressed the "imminent role" of cinema people, whose "power," he said, consists of being "able to deal with crucial social-economic and political" issues with great "influence on the public opinion."
Martin Scorsese could not take part in the second Marrakesh festival, being busy with the editing of his latest work "Gangs of New York."
