MEDFILM FESTIVAL IN MOROCCO – 4th Edition
October 1–3, Rabat
MedFilm Festival continues its journey across the shores of the Mediterranean with the fifth edition of MedFilm au Maroc. Ahead of the festival’s 32nd edition, which will take place in Rome from 5 to 15 November 2026, the international showcase of Mediterranean cinema returns to Rabat from 1 to 3 October. The programme brings films, guests, presentations and masterclasses to the Moroccan capital and involves local production companies and artistic organisations.
The event is organised by the Embassy of Italy in Morocco and the Italian Cultural Institute in Rabat, in collaboration with the Methexis Association, Fondation Hiba, Cinémathèque Marocaine, Cinéma le 7ème Art and the Institut Supérieur des Métiers de l’Audiovisuel et du Cinéma de Rabat (ISMAC). It is held under the aegis of the Mission Unit for Cultural Cooperation with Africa and the Enlarged Mediterranean. Through film and audiovisual media, the event promotes cultural and professional dialogue between Italy and Morocco and further strengthens the ties between the two countries. Building on its long-standing partnership with Fondation Hiba and a renewed collaboration with ISMAC, the fifth edition of MedFilm au Maroc offers a programme of premieres and special educational projects.
