Han Imkinna Tgan is the first film produced in Tinghir by a number of ambitious young Tinghirians. They are mixture of humble experiences in the field of Cinema. The film was just an idea that came to mind to these youngsters and spare no effort in fulfilling it.
The idea set out for the first time on February 2007. After that, the boys decided to work together on writing the scenario of the film. As they are all beginners, the spend a long time meeting in cafes of ouarzazat because they are studying there. The scenario was a fruit of different thoughts. Boys and girls are together making and discussing suggestions of their scenario.
When they finished, they called me to cooperate to fulfil the project. The earlier days of the vacation, we met in association Askter, Tinghir. We made the planning of the filming and we discussed the budget. We agreed that we need about 30000 dhs. The budget was too much to gain in few days but we did it.
We knocked all the doors that can cooperate with us. The main partners were the municipality of Tinghir, the federation of associations, GTF association, Hotel Tombocto. By the way, I don’t forget to thank them too much for their help. The second problem was to find a good camera. This was not an easy at all. We kept looking for a good one for many days. One lucky day, a group of three Spanish girls called “Cierses” came to Tinghir. They want to film a report on Immigration in Aachich. They contacted the Federation for help and the latter called us to meet them just so as to exchange some experience.
They had problems with their papers they couldn’t get permission for filming from the authority. In addition to that, they have some financial problems. We were together chatting when one of them said that they have two cameras and that they may rent us one. They said that it’s a professional one.
At first we hesitated because they may ask for too much money for a professional Camera. I saw that we have no option, so we accepted to use their camera. When we asked about the price, it was a surprise. They asked only for 150dhs a day whereas the fist man we asked for the camera (not professional) asked for 450dhs.
The next morning, Aziz and Hassan went with the girls to Achich to bring the camera. It was a very tiring but fruitful trip. They brought the camera without giving any dirham or sign any paper. The girls trusted us too much. After a week we send them their money via post office.
The next day we started filming. We started by descriptive views for the region because we still have some technical problems. As a responsible of casting, it was nearly impossible to find girls to act. I was looking up and down Tinghir with the director and manager of production. We nearly lost hope because we all know that Tinghir is a conservative region. Girls can expose themselves in media. They think it’s Hchouma!!
After all this, we found enough actors and we started the next scenes. The team was enthusiastic and motivated to work. We created a very wonderful climate of friendship between all the members. After sixteen days we finished filming.
After a month of montage, Ali finished the film. We decided to organise a ceremony for the first display of the film in the large room of the municipality. The team chose me with Nawal to animate the show. When I went to Tinghir for the display day, I found the guys prepared all what we need in addition to tea and lot of candy.
People watched the film for free and approved it. After the show, we discussed the themes of the film and we got more suggestions for the next project inchalla.
