The Amazigh Film Festival: a cinematographic journey to the heart of a thousand-year-old culture October 2, 2025 CULTURE & ART, OUTSIDE TAMAZGHA • Facebook • Twitter • Stumbleupon • LinkedIn • Pinterest

The Amazigh Film Festival has established itself, year after year, as an unmissable celebration of Amazigh culture and identity. A true showcase of indigenous cinema in North Africa, it highlights the stories, voices and visions of the Amazigh (Berber) people, through a rich selection of films, documentaries and artistic works. More than just a cinematographic event, the festival aims to be a platform for cultural preservation, creative expression and intercultural dialogue. Each edition brings together filmmakers, researchers, artists and community members from all over the world, offering the public a unique immersion in the richness and resilience of the Amazigh heritage. A rich and diversified 2025 program This year, the program has some great surprises in store for film lovers and culture enthusiasts. Among the highlights: • A Co**se on the Shore by Aksel Rifman, • Ticrad (Tattoos) by Idir Benchabane, • Izuran (The Roots) by Djamal Bacha. In addition to these works, there are many other unreleased films that testify to the vitality and creativity of Amazigh filmmakers, between memory, identity and modernity.
Tribute to Brahim Taski One of the most eagerly awaited moments of this edition will undoubtedly be the tribute to the Algerian director of photography Brahim Taski. For the occasion, the festival will present the American premiere of his film Ayrouwen (Once Upon a Time), shot in Tamasheq, produced by Belkacem Hadjadj. This tribute underlines the importance of image craftsmen in the transmission of Amazigh stories and their international dissemination. Whether you are an informed film buff, passionate about cultural anthropology or simply curious, the Amazigh Film Festival is a unique experience: that of discovering North Africa through the eyes of its native storytellers. The festival is not content with screening films, it tells a collective story, that of a people who, through cinema, continue to affirm their identity, defend their memory and share their creativity with the world.

One of my favorite photos, when I am helped by a young local man to cross the river M'Gouna in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco.
I have a very fond memory of that partcular day of trekking along trails in the mountains and attending a Berber wedding.

It is with profound sadness that I share with all my friends the announcement of Dr. Leila Mezian Ben Jelloun's death today, Saturday July 13, 2024 and express my deepest sympathy to her loved ones, and to Dounia, her daughter, who has been a friend for several years. Both have nurtured and supported the Festival of the Amazigh Film in the United States, and insured its existence by their kind contributions. Dr. Ben Jelloun's philanthropic activities in Morocco were unceasing, and she will be remembered for her admirable kindness. My profound regrets,
