Word of the Manager

Image As a documentary film producer since nearly 13 years in France, working for my own production structure located in Paris, I decided to transfer my know-how in my native country, hoping that my experience will benefit the development of a profession and contribute to growth in my country.

That is why it has become a priority and a necessity for me to tap into my knowledge and skills, my thoroughness and energy for the benefit of a region that mostly deserves it for several reasons.

Our goal is to create the Education and Culture Event with due requirements of quality, for the purpose of contributing to the development of a growing region.

Confronting Art and Real Life, the documentary film is a fully-fledged genre.

Documentary films and documentary makers question our world on all kinds of issues.

Those films which are of concern to us offer us a look on today's world, human beings, cultures and mutations affecting them.

The documentary film plays a crucial and educational role in the evolution of people's mindset, for it stimulates their mind and perception.


Our will is to give the opportunity to watch and learn: publicize productions coming from all geographical, linguistic and cultural horizons.

Our ambition is to initiate an annual rendezvous enjoying national and international coverage: an event with a growing affluence which we expect will become an absolute must for creators, producers and broadcasters, and a rendezvous for exchanging and confronting their works, we also wish to invite the public to an exercise of entertainment, discussion, thinking and discovery.

Agadir meets perfectly well our goal: it is the capital city of the Souss Region, and a welcoming town known for its incomparable charm, for its mild climate, year-round sun, for the remarkable hospitality of its inhabitants, the beauty of the site and proximity of Ouarzazate which has become a film industry capital. In a few words, it is the cradle of a rich heritage offering an excellent showcase for Morocco which naturally accompanies the growth of the country.

Thanks to its wealthy treasures, its exceptional settings, and the existence of certified professionals (namely in Ouarzazate), the SOUSS MASSA DRÄA Region is an ideal land for Authors, Directors, Documentary Makers, Producers …

Hoping to welcome you soon in a sunny place.

Yours sincerely
Nezha Drissi
