Morocco is a renowned location in the film world, both as a location for several blockbuster films, but also as a host to several famous international film festivals.
Festivals have been hosted in Tangier, Rabat, and Marrakech to celebrate cinema in Morocco, and promote Moroccan contributions to the film world. Moroccan cinema has grown in popularity and prominence in recent years, with Moroccan-directed films gaining recognition at international film awards including the 2022 Oscars.
