CHILDRENS' DAYS The CdT pays special attention to its young audience members. We have early weekend screenings reserved for children's pictures. Once a month, in partnership with the Swiss association Magic Lantern, we offer a special workshop screening which introduces young people to the cinema (history, technique, aesthetics, and themes). Magic Lantern have run their excellent workshops for children throughout Europe. WORKSHOPS In partnership with Documentary Filmmakers Group, London , the CdT hosts two DocMaroc workshops per year for aspiring documentary filmmakers from Morocco and pairs them up with similarly passionate individuals from all over the world. Students train in camerawork, production, editing theory and history of cinema and documentary. At the end of the course in order to create their own 3-minute documentaries about the unsung heros, daily changes and ancient rituals that contribute to the vibrancy and energy alive in Tangier today. FACE-TO-FACE Whenever possible we offer previews, career retrospectives and Q&A sessions with directors and others directly involved with the films presented in our programs. Special guests (artists, filmmakers, writers, critics, and festival directors and programmers) are be invited to host special Carte Blanche programs of films which they select, program and present. Additionally, the CDT uses the Rif to host live theater, readings and forums on subjects related to the world of the cinema. Most recently the Rif was home to round-tables, screenings and a play during the Salon International du Livre de Tanger.
