The Festival international du court métrage de Timimoun connects cinema and place by establishing an international event in one of the Algerian Sahara’s most distinctive oases.
A platform for short forms
The festival welcomes emerging and established directors. Short film encourages diverse writing, experimentation and new talent while enabling a dense international programme.
2026 edition
The second edition is planned for November 2026. Organisers reported more than 3,000 submitted films from several countries, indicating the rapid visibility gained by this young event.
Connected to its territory
Beyond screenings, Timimoun offers a distinctive setting for professional meetings, mediation and the promotion of Saharan heritage. Depending on the edition, the programme may include competitions, debates, workshops and mobile-cinema initiatives.
