The European film weeks represents one of the most tangible cultural symbols of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership in Morocco able to promote the exchange of film-related experiences between Europe and Southern Mediterranean countries. They are the result of the initiative of the EU delegation as well as EU member States embassies and cultural institutes, under the patronage of the ministry of Communications and in partnership with the Moroccan Cinema Centre (Centre Cinematographique marocain).
The revenues of the 20th European film weeks will be donated to a Moroccan charity.
