The Cinematheque
Cinémathèque de Tanger is an alternative center for film conservation and circulation based in Tangier, in Morocco. Created in 2007 at the instigation of Yto Barrada, it is committed to the promotion of film heritage and production, through the collection of feature film, documentaries, experimental films, which contributes to enriching its unique collection and preserving a collective memory of cinema.
Resolutely opened towards the world, Cinémathèque de Tanger has been for over 10 years an intercultural space by screening Moroccan and international productions, and offering a vibrant programmation for travelers, artists, movie-goers, and curious minds.
In that perspective, Cinémathèque de Tanger is dedicated to its strong audience policies shaped for youths and purposefully anchored with local associations and cultural initiatives.
Our Missions
Movies are at the heart of Cinémathèque de Tanger’s missions. For over 10 years, hundreds of feature-length movies, documentaries, short movies, shot all around the world, have been introduced to many thousands of spectators.
More than a movie theater, its is an art center dedicated to film culture in all its expressions. Additionally to being a place for discoveries, it is a unique meeting place thanks to the many workshops, conferences, festivals, joint programmations and cartes blanches contributing to its dynamism. More than a space to encounter one another, it is a symbolic place wishing to invite international creation to Morocco that is eager to celebrate Tangier throughout the world.
