Ahmed Mesnaoui and Mohamed Tazi

The file of the Centre cinématographique marocain, producer of the film, credits Ahmed Mesnaoui as director and Mohamed Ben Abdelouahed Tazi as screenwriter; Yabiladi and Al Bayane attribute the film to both. Tazi, a filmmaker and screenwriter, was born in Fez on 15 January 1936 according to the BnF, which distinguishes him from his namesake Mohamed Abderrahman Tazi, the film's cinematographer. Mesnaoui, according to Africultures, was a native of Rabat; he came to cinema as a self-taught man, after correspondence courses, joined the Centre in 1962 and stayed there until his retirement in 1986.
