While Morocco is not represented in the official selection of the 2026 Venice Film Festival (Mostra), scheduled from September 2 to 12, 2026, three Moroccan projects will be featured on the sidelines of the festival at the Venice Gap-Financing Market.
The Venice Gap-Financing Market, now in its 13th edition, is an initiative of the Venice Biennale that connects filmmakers with potential financiers. It is part of the festival's industry program, which runs alongside the main screenings.
The three Moroccan projects were selected to participate in this market, which aims to support films in the later stages of development or early production. The specific titles and directors have not been officially announced as of the latest available information.
This participation highlights the growing presence of Moroccan cinema in international co-production and financing forums, following previous Moroccan involvement in similar events.
