Waiting for Pasolini is a warm and humorous Moroccan film set in the desert town of Ouarzazate, Morocco's storied film location. Thami, a veteran film extra, treasures his friendship with Italian auteur Pier Paolo Pasolini, who shot his 1966 epic Oedipus Rex in the region. When an Italian film crew arrives in town forty years later, Thami becomes convinced that Pasolini himself has returned — and his infectious excitement reignites a collective passion for cinema among the locals. A loving tribute to filmmaking and memory, the film explores how art can leave an indelible mark on a community, and how legends grow richer with the passage of time.
