The 6th Moroccan Film Week in Abidjan runs from 2 to 7 November 2026
Ten Moroccan films, five features and five shorts, screen in Abidjan, alongside a technical training session and a panel on co-production between Morocco and Côte d’Ivoire.
Côte d’Ivoire Cinéma, in collaboration with the Moroccan Cinema Centre (CCM) and in coordination with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Abidjan, is holding the sixth edition of the Moroccan Film Week in Abidjan from 2 to 7 November 2026.
The event takes place under the co-production and film exchange agreement signed in Abidjan on 28 November 2011 between the CCM and the National Cinema Office of Côte d’Ivoire, in particular its article 17. It gives Ivorian audiences a chance to discover the diversity of Moroccan cinema and strengthens the ties between professionals in the two countries.
The programme brings together five feature films and five short films, offering a panorama of Moroccan filmmaking. The features are The Call by Ahmed Bouchalga, La Mer au loin by Saïd Hamich Benlarbi, Love in Dakhla by Khalid Brahimi, Atoman by Anouar Moatassim and Déserts by Faouzi Bensaïdi. The shorts are Frère II sang by Mohcine Nadifi, Miroir à vendre by Hicham Amal, L’Mina by Randa Maroufi, Boujloud by Rita Bousfiha and Frères de lait by Kenza Tazi.
A Moroccan delegation accompanies this edition: Mourad Latifi, head of the Exhibition Control department and CCM representative; Charafeddine Zine El Abidine, producer and director of the Dakhla International Film Festival; directors and producers Anouar Moatassim, Khalid Zaïri and Mohcine Nadifi; actress Jalila Tlemsi; and Omar Benhamou Kamili, president of the Moroccan Federation of Audiovisual and Film Technical Industries.
Alongside the screenings, two meetings will deepen exchanges between Moroccan and Ivorian professionals. The first is a technical training session on “Technical industries of film and audiovisual: sharing expertise and cooperation opportunities between Morocco and Côte d’Ivoire”, led by Omar Benhamou Kamili, which will cover technical skills and prospects for cooperation in these sectors. The second is a professional panel titled “Film and audiovisual co-production between Morocco and Côte d’Ivoire: opportunities, mechanisms and challenges”, which will bring together Mourad Latifi, Charafeddine Zine El Abidine and Khalid Zaïri with Ivorian professionals to discuss the possibilities for co-production and the conditions for developing it.
Through this sixth edition, the CCM and its Ivorian partners reaffirm their commitment to encouraging the circulation of films, the sharing of expertise and the development of joint projects, in keeping with the friendship and cooperation between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire.
