      The past of Cinema Morocco, in downtown São Paulo, was glorious:
      in 1954, the best and most luxurious cinema in South America hosted the first international film festival of Brazil, attended by Hollywood stars and cinema masters, and screening classics such as Sunset Boulevard, Grand Illusion, Julius Caesar, Sawdust and Tinsel and Bread, Love and Dreams among others.
