After numerous short films at renowned international festivals,
Yassine El Idrissi takes his first feature straight to the
competition of the Shanghai International Film Festival. Inspired
by his background as a journalist, Halima combines nuanced
character drama and social study into a powerful story of female
resilience and structural marginalization. On site in Shanghai, the
Moroccan director-writer sat down with Lidanoir to talk about the
personal inspiration for the main character, tackling the subject
of illegal cannabis trade in Morocco, and his own stance on
legalization vs. criminalization.
