The International Festival of Cinema and Common Memory in Nador places film at the centre of dialogue about memory, human rights, peace and societies undergoing transformation.
Cinema as a civic space
Led by the Centre for Common Memory, Democracy and Peace, the festival combines films, round tables, encounters and awareness activities. It addresses conflict, migration, justice, reconciliation and transmission between generations.
A gathering rooted in Nador
The programme connects artistic creation to civic questions and brings filmmakers, researchers, activists, students and residents together. Its location in the Rif helps diversify the geography of major Moroccan cultural events.
Memory without a single narrative
The festival encourages the comparison of different histories and viewpoints. Cinema becomes a tool for examining difficult memories while keeping space open for dialogue and critical debate.
The 2026 edition
The 2026 edition is announced for 30 October to 4 November. Venues, guests and screening schedules should be confirmed before attending.
