The International Film Festival of Tangier aims to contribute to the image of the city as being one of art and creativity. The Festival has started to draw the attention of film makers from Morocco and around the world.
This year, the festival program features more than 60 short films from around the world, and represents the greatest short documentaries and fiction of the last two years.
The Festival is considered by some as a real success story because of its evolution from being a small film celebration at the Tangier’s University to being an International Film Festival in seven years.
