Morocco's Centre Cinématographique Marocain (CCM) has announced a budget of over 26 million dirhams (MAD) to support 40 film festivals nationwide. The funding aims to bolster the country's cinematic landscape and promote cultural diversity.
The decision was made public on August 6, 2026, following a meeting of the CCM's support commission. The selected festivals include both established events and emerging regional gatherings, reflecting a broad geographic spread.
According to the CCM, the financial aid is part of a broader strategy to encourage film production and exhibition, particularly in regions outside major urban centers. The exact list of festivals and the distribution of funds will be published on the CCM's official website.
This initiative underscores Morocco's commitment to supporting its film industry, which has seen growth in recent years with increased international co-productions and a rising number of local productions.
