French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati and Moroccan Minister Mehdi Bensaid signed multiple agreements aimed at strengthening cultural and heritage cooperation between Morocco and France during a significant meeting at the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication in Rabat.
One key outcome was a declaration to enhance collaboration in audiovisual archiving.
The Cinémathèque Marocaine partnered with the French National Audiovisual Institute (INA) to exchange archives, organize screenings, and establish training programs.
An agreement with the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BnF) will provide access to a digital catalog of Pathé records and support the preservation of sound archives. The Institut Français also partnered with the Cinémathèque Marocaine to enrich its programming and finance the restoration of La Falaise by Faouzi Bensaïdi.
A strategic agreement was signed between Abdelaziz El Bouzdaini of the Moroccan Cinema Center (CCM) and Gaëtan Bruel of the French National Center for Cinema and Animated Image (CNC).
It includes co-production meetings, film education in Dakhla, digitization of archives, and video game development through Game Crealab. Additionally, trilateral initiatives will support African cinematic creation.
Cultural heritage preservation was also a priority. A protocol between the Moroccan Directorate of Cultural Heritage and the French National Monuments Center outlines a strategy for around 30 historical sites, enhancing visitor experiences through immersive technologies and professional training.
An archaeological cooperation agreement between Morocco’s INSAP and France’s INRAP will promote joint research and educational programs.
The agreements extend to archival and library development. Morocco’s Archives Directorate and France’s Interministerial Service of Archives agreed to revise Morocco’s archival laws and enhance expertise through training.
The National Library of Morocco and the BnF will collaborate on audiovisual collection management, digital libraries, and AI in literary preservation.
