About the event
Created in 2001 under Royal High Patronage, the FIFM has established itself as one of world cinema’s major gatherings, drawing leading directors and actors. Its competition spotlights young talent, while masterclasses and tributes celebrate major figures.
One of the most cherished moments remains the free screenings on Jemaa el-Fna square, which open the festival to the general public. In late November, Marrakech enjoys a mild climate, ideal for combining cinema, the medina and getaways.
