Festival International du Film de Marrakech
The Marrakech International Film Festival has been held annually in Morocco since 2001. It welcomes filmmakers from around the world.
It aims to promote and develop the art and industry of filmmaking in Morocco. In 2018, the Festival launched the Atlas Workshops, which, through its industry and talent development program, aims to support a new generation of Moroccan, Arab, and African filmmakers and create a space for exchange between international professionals and regional talent.
For over a week, the festival organizes activities such as film screenings, meetings with film personalities, tributes, and special events like the "Conversations" program.
