    It was such a delight! I’ll apply again next year with my next animated short film. The Tangier Film Festival is truly one of the best festivals to attend! The welcoming team is amazing, the food is fit for royalty, and everything is designed to create a warm and friendly atmosphere. The artists and talks are incredibly inspiring. All these efforts in the name of art and cinema are truly wonderful to witness. Morocco is entering a prosperous new era for art and film. Thank you so much !

    Amazing Festival!
    Great films, guests, and organization. I didn’t have the chance to attend in person, but the communication with the festival team, the days of the event I had the chance to follow online, and the media coverage—everything was superb.
    Tangier Film Festival is, so far, one of the greatest festivals in Morocco.
