The 5th edition of the London Arthouse Film Festival, scheduled for July, will focus on Hassan culture. The festival will focus on themes such as "environmental awareness, empowering women and celebrating Moroccan Hassan culture".
In this context, a partnership agreement was signed in Rabat between the Federation of Cinema and Audiovisual Professionals in the Sahara, represented by its president Said Zribiaa, and Kaoutar Tazrouti, coordinator of the London Arthouse Film Festival. The aim of the agreement is to promote Saharan Hassani cinema, in particular by organising film training sessions between London and Laâyoune. It will also raise the profile of Sahrawi Moroccan cinema on the world film scene.
The agreement also aims to establish a roadmap for accessing new international support funds, thereby strengthening the presence and recognition of Hassan culture in the world of cinema. This initiative represents an important step in the promotion and dissemination of Hassan culture, providing an international platform for its artistic and cinematographic expression.
