The Moroccan Cinematographic Centre

The Moroccan Cinematographic Centre is a governmental institution, set up in 1944 and reorganized in 1977. Its principal role is the organisation of the film industry in Morocco.
One of the prerogatives of the Centre is to help promote Moroccan cinema as well as Morocco as a location for film shooting.
Since 1980, the Centre has acquired a Cinema Complex including a laboratory, an auditorium and a post-production department for 35mm positive editing, films for TV, avid editing and sound editing.
The CCM also has a Film Archive in order to preserve the national and international film heritage.

Mediterranean Short Film Festival of Tangier

Organized by the Moroccan Cinematographic Centre with the collaboration of different Moroccan cinema associations, The Mediterranean Short Film Festival presents the opportunity for cinema professionals of the Mediterranean area to meet.
The festival was initially organized every 2 years in Tangier, the first edition being in 2002 and the second one in 2004. But since that date, due to the success of these first 2 editions and also because of the high number of Moroccan short films produced during the previous years, it became an annual event attended by around 2000 people.
The Festival’s programme is made of: an official short film competition judged by an international Jury, an overview of Moroccan short films (each edition presents around 50 Moroccan short films produced during the previous year), round table conferences and cinema workshops, an itinerary film screening (cinematographic caravans screen some of the Moroccan short films in public places and in some isolated locations like jails and charity associations) and much more.
