Maghreb film festival Maghreb cinema Oujda, Morocco October

Oujda Maghreb Film Festival

A festival devoted to Maghreb cinema, North African narratives and exchanges between filmmakers, actors, critics, students and audiences in Morocco’s Oriental region.

Oujda Maghreb Film Festival

The Oujda Maghreb Film Festival creates a circulation space for films, artists and debates that reflect the societies of North Africa.

The Maghreb through its filmmakers

Founded in 2012, the festival presents Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Libyan and Mauritanian films while remaining open to co-productions and diasporic viewpoints. The works address shared memories, borders, social change, youth and new forms of storytelling.

A strong anchor in the Oriental region

Its presence in Oujda contributes to decentralising film culture and brings screenings, encounters and workshops closer to regional audiences. It also supports exchange between professionals, cultural associations and training institutions.

Regional dialogue through cinema

The festival offers a space where common cultural references and different national experiences can be compared without reducing Maghreb cinema to a single identity.

The 2026 edition

The next edition is announced for 16–21 October 2026. The final programme and access conditions should be verified before attending.
