We collaborated with the University of Exeter and the University of Edinburgh to organise a major international symposium putting Moroccan cinema firmly in a pan-African context, to explore the real and imagined global reach of Moroccan cinema. The transnational pan-African connections that inform the current state and future direction of ‘Moroccan’ cinema in all its forms are central to the symposium. The symposium aims to explore these facets of transnational cinema in the context of ‘Transnational Moroccan Cinema’ – understood here as the production, circulation and reception of films within and beyond Morocco as well as in the Moroccan diaspora across the globe.

This event is held in partnership with the University of Exeter and is generously funded by the AHRC.
