The first edition of the Fes International Film Festival (FIFF), initially scheduled for November 13-17, has been postponed until February 2019
"The postponement is due to the desire to give ourselves the means and the time necessary to ensure a good preparation for this event," says the association of the International Film Festival of Fez, the main initiator of this cultural event.
It is also to give a "good visibility to the festival, since the initial date coincides with the organisation of major film events at the national level".
The festival aspires to reinforce the cultural animation in Fez and to contribute to the revitalisation of Moroccan film production and the promotion of the national film industry.
The organisers intend to have a number of activities, including the screening of some thirty international films, short and feature films, as well as documentaries, in addition to awarding prizes to the best artistic works.
This festival will constitute a space for exchange and dialogue between different cultures and a suitable opportunity for the training of students and moviegoers, through workshops supervised by professionals and filmmakers, to help them develop their artistic talents.
This film event also aims to contribute to strengthening the cultural influence of Fez alongside other major cultural and artistic events of the city, including the festival World Sacred Music, the Festival of Sufi Culture and the festival of Amazigh Culture.
