Since motion
pictures were first invented, many foreign film makers have been
lured by the beauty and magic of the Moroccan landscape. As early
as 1897, Louis Lumiere was filming here. Later, Orson Welles,
whose Othello, shot in Morocco, was his only film to be
awarded with a Palm d'Or at Cannes. Other famous filmmakers
have shot masterpieces here, from Alfred Hitchcock (The Man
Who Knew Too Much, 1955) and David Lean (Lawrence of Arabia,
1962) to Martin Scorsese (The Last Temptation of Christ, 1987).
