Last November, Marrakech hosted a famous cinema event. The Marrakech Film Festival (FIFM) is no longer to be presented. After few editions, the event has become an annual international appointment of the 7th art. The organisers of the event worked hard on the improvement of the festival's image through a careful selection of the participating films and guests.

The FIFM is the main factor of the economic and artistic boost witnessed by the southern city. The festival has started to be one of the distinguished festivals such as Cairo and Cannes festivals.

Considering the FIFM success and its impact on the economy of Marrakech, Casablanca got the lesson and attempted to have a festival of its own. The festival was grandiose, multidisciplinary and well organised. The first edition was proved to be an incontestable success.
