Multiple red flags detected - exercise caution
The ZAGORA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, also known as the Zagora International Trans-Saharan Film Festival, is a Moroccan festival held in Zagora that is known for linking cinema with the culture and landscapes of the Sahara. It is notable for its desert setting, its cultural exchange mission, and its role in promoting Zagora as a cinema destination outside Morocco’s main industry centers.[1][2][4] The festival typically showcases documentary and short films, and in some editions also includes feature-film and screenplay competitions, with a strong emphasis on works connected to the desert, Saharan and African narratives, and related social themes.[1][2][3][4]
