Festival of Amazigh Film

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Amazigh Film Festival (Amazigh: Tafaska n Ufilm Amazigh) is a non-governmental and independent film festival organized by Amazigh cultural associations and independant / amateur Amazigh filmmakers in Morocco. The festival does not receive any financial support from any outside party at all. The media coverage of the festival in Morocco is limited to Amazigh language newspapers and websites. The festival intends to contribute to the promotion of Amazigh Cinema and to the resolution of the financial and technical problems encountering the Amazigh film. It aims to promoting the Amazigh culture which is heavily under pressure in Morocco and Algeria where foreign cultures like the French and Middle Eastern Arabic cultures dominate the mainstream cultural and artistic scene.
