An international festival dedicated to films directed by women, female representation on screen and exchanges between filmmakers, professionals and audiences.

Salé International Women’s Film Festival

The Salé International Women’s Film Festival gives particular visibility to women directors, stories centred on women and debates about their place in cinema and society.

An international platform in Salé

Founded in 2004 and organised by the Bouregreg Association, the festival combines feature films, documentaries, short films, professional meetings, tributes and activities for younger audiences.

Creation and public debate

A cultural anchor for the city

By bringing filmmakers, performers, critics and audiences together in Salé, the event contributes to the city’s cultural life and places gender questions within a broader international film dialogue.
