Actress and Ment

cl: Suzanne Cl ment, Montreal actress and jurist at the Marrakech Film Festival // Source Christine Lee And it's under this hazy spell that I meet Montreal actress Suzanne Cl ment, who has made a name for herself in French cinema as an award winning actress in Lawrence Anyways and I Killed My Mother, according to Huffington Post Canada. Cl ment was invited as a member of the festival's jury, which awarded top honors to Chinese filmmakers, including the Grand Prix to Chinese feature The Donor. It's opening night at the Marrakech International Film Festival, a week-long celebration of global cinema patroned by Moroccan King Mohammed VI that beckons you to tumble down the rabbit hole. I ask Cl ment why she agreed to do the festival, and for her way it was a way to reconnect with Morocco, a country that conjures fond memories of camping out in the Sahara desert while gazing at stars. Indeed, Morocco has taken steps to become one of the more progressive and stable Muslim countries in the region, following the Arab Spring of 2011, King Mohammed VI announced constitutional reforms to transfer more power to parliament. It was also a way to give back to what she called a liberal North African country. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
