According to lemag.ma…
The Festival was started in “1985 by a group of film enthusiasts who gathered in the Association of Friends of the Cinema of Tetouan… [the Festival] has set standards for the promotion and development of films from Mediterranean countries.” (taken from an article about last years festival)
I’ve had a hard time finding details online as to what will actually be happening where, but here are the sites where things will take place…
I’ll try to find more details and post them when I can. This I do know, they’ve set up a big screen on Plaza Primo in the center of town. 🙂
