During the conference the following films were also screened: Imanol Uribe’s Bwana (1996), Adolfo Aristarain’s Martin H (1997). Also presented at the conference was the new book by the Moroccan critic, D. Khattabi, El cine en los países subdesarrollados (Cinema in the Underdeveloped World, 2000), published in Arabic. This second conference, in Arabic and Spanish, was organized by the Club Martil pour le Cinéma et la Culture, with the collaboration of the Asociación de Trabajadores Inmigrantes Marroquíes en España (ATIME) (Association of Moroccan Immigrant Workers in Spain), based in Madrid.
