Morocco’s Cinematographic Center (CCM) has awarded nearly 26 million dirhams in funding to 40 film festivals across the country as part of a broader initiative to strengthen the nation’s cinematic and cultural landscape.
The Commission for Supporting the Organization of Film Festivals met from July 22 to 25 at the CCM headquarters in Rabat, under the leadership of Khadija Alami Laaroussi. The committee selected events ranging from international showcases to local and thematic festivals for financial support.
The Marrakech International Film Festival (FIFM), considered Morocco’s most prestigious cinematic event, received the largest share with 12 million dirhams. The Tangier National Film Festival followed with 7.5 million dirhams.
Other events supported include the Rabat International Auteur Cinema Festival, which was awarded 800,000 dirhams, and the Trans-Saharan International Festival of Zagora and Ouzoud’s International Mountain Film Festival, each receiving 300,000 dirhams.
Smaller and more specialized festivals also received funding. The Handi Film Festival in Rabat and the Issni N’Ourgh International Amazigh Film Festival in Agadir were granted 100,000 dirhams each. More modest allocations went to events like the Meeting of Cinema and History in Oued Zem (30,000 dirhams) and the Bir Mezoui Film Festival(50,000 dirhams).
According to the CCM, this funding is part of a strategic effort to promote cinematic diversity, encourage film creation and distribution, and foster cultural exchange across Morocco’s various regions.
The commission included film professionals Asmaa Grimiche, Imane Mesbahi, Malika Maalainine, Sabah El Faqali, Ahmed Affach, Bouazza El Bouchtaoui, and Mohamed Lamouissi, in addition to its president.
