Getting there & doing it
None of the locations for screenings are difficult to get to, but if you’re not in walking distance, allow plenty of time to get there as it’s a busy period for the city and traffic can be slow. There are free public screenings in the main square, Jemaa El Fna.
Many tickets are dedicated to industry; tickets set aside for the general public are sold on a first-come, first-served basis directly from individual venues. View the festival website for venue and contact details.
When to do it
The festival takes place annually, over ten days in early December.
