The Festival was born from a deep desire to allow an authentic cultural exchange.
For directors from all over the world, arriving in Zagora is truly a unique experience, which allows them to get closer to traditional Berber culture, culture understood in the broad sense of cinema, music, cuisine, spirit, nature and hospitality.
During the Festival, daily excursions are organized to discover the wonders of the place: Tamegroute, the Amezrou casbah, the Koranic Library etc…
The Festival has two sections:
• The Documentary Competition
• The Short Film Competition (max 15 minutes)
The Jury is the same for both sections.
The screenings take place inside the city's cultural center and also on a large screen set up in the desert.
A short distance from Ouarzazate, the major city of the Moroccan film industry, Zagora today represents the most important point of reference for cinema at the gates of the desert.
An unforgettable journey through the Atlas will allow you to discover a country rich in ancient traditions and at the same time very attentive to creative and artistic innovations.
