In the age of new technologies, the use of smartphones has become part of our daily lives. Therefore, we thought of using a smartphone for more interesting causes.

" MAGHREB MOBILE " is a festival of short films shot only with a phone.

This challenge tries to eliminate all the obstacles that a filmmaker may encounter, Here we are only interested in the idea and the treatment of the film, and it's in this exercise that we can recognize the creative talent of each filmmaker. .

The ultimate objective through this festival is to democratize visual art in the Maghreb and to allow young talents to release their creativity without any technical or financial constraint, we seek to prove that with a simple idea and a simple smartphone, everyone of us can make a movie, or rather a really good movie.

The festival will be screened every year in a different city in the Maghreb. We are trying through this to strengthen the links between local filmmakers and bring them together in order to promote a film culture from the Maghreb.
