THE MARRAKECH SHORT FILM FESTIVAL

The Marrakech Short Film Festival

Born from the crossroads of trade routes, Marrakech has been a hub of storytelling and creativity for hundreds of years. Abounding with iconic shooting locations, from the mystical Medina to its palm-filled hinterland, cinema is a crucial thread woven into the city’s cultural fabric. The advent of COVID19 and the resulting closure of cinemas has left local audiences with a thirst for the therapeutic pleasure of film-going.
