"AMANAR" is the Industry & Development Program of the Marrakech Short Film Festival, created to build a bridge between emerging filmmakers and the wider film industry.

Developed as a long-term extension of MARRAKECHsFF’s commitment to new voices, AMANAR goes beyond the festival experience by accompanying filmmakers through the different stages of their professional journey — from project development and mentorship to financing, production and international circulation.

Through talks, masterclasses, round tables, project development sessions and professional encounters, AMANAR connects emerging talents with filmmakers, producers, programmers, institutions and international industry platforms.

More than a meeting point, AMANAR is conceived as a space for continuity: a program where projects can grow, professional relationships can develop, and filmmakers can gain the tools and connections needed to move their work forward.

"Talent doesn’t travel on its own. It takes bridges. AMANAR is where we build them."
