The Moroccan Cinematographic Centre (CCM) actively promotes the country as a premier filming destination through a structured system of financial incentives and logistical support. A key attraction is a cash rebate program, which offers a reimbursement of up to 30% on qualifying production expenditures incurred within Morocco. This incentive is designed for both Moroccan and foreign productions, including feature films, series, documentaries, and animation.
The CCM operates a dedicated Film Commission that serves as a one-stop shop for international producers, assisting with location scouting, permit acquisition, and customs procedures for equipment. The commission also provides a database of local crew and service providers to facilitate production logistics. Morocco's diverse landscapes, from deserts to coastlines and historic cities, are frequently cited as a major draw for filmmakers.
To qualify for the rebate, productions must meet specific criteria set by the CCM, including a minimum spend threshold and the employment of a certain percentage of Moroccan technical crew. The program is part of a broader national strategy to grow the cultural and creative industries. Recent high-profile projects filmed in Morocco include parts of the series "House of the Dragon" and the film "Mission: Impossible β Dead Reckoning."
