The Moroccan Youth Film Festival is an event run by Moroccan high schoolers under the slogan " By Youth, For Youth". The festival's primary goal is to empower creative, passionate young minds and help them showcase their cinematic talents that range from directing and producing, to acting and publishing their work.

MYFF aims to provide support for Moroccan and International students when it comes to nurturing their skills and passions, as well as to entrust the young generations with this cinematic culture and expand it.

    The festival didn't happen yet. I believe that is because of the coronavirus situation in Morocco.

    Response from festival:

    The festival could not go underway because of various reasons, mostly because of lack of funding. We had announced the cancellation of the second edition on our social media pages a couple of weeks before the event date.

    Amazing!

    I wish I could have attended personally, but was such a great honour that the Australian Ambassador to Morocco attended the event and accepted the awards on behalf of Australia! Kudos to the organisers
