Six and Twelve(1968)

Six and Twelve Synopsis

Six and Twelve is one of a series of short films and documentaries produced under the auspices of the Centre Cinématographique Marocain in the years after Moroccan independence. While most of these were utilitarian in nature, Bouanani, Tazi, and Rechiche took a different route with this film, creating a modernist “city symphony” film that documented six hours in the life of the city of Casablanca. Combining a hard bebop soundtrack with stunning black and white cinematography and a radical editing style, the film stands as a document to the energetic experimentation of this period of Moroccan art and cinema.

Six and Twelve (1968) is a documentary film directed by Ahmed Bouanani, released on January 2, 1968 with a runtime of 18m. Viewers rate it 7.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
