The Moroccan Cinematographic Center has announced that the 26th edition of the Tangier National Film Festival has been rescheduled from late October 2026 to March 2027.

The postponement follows requests from industry stakeholders, including the Moroccan Film Producers Chamber, which noted that the delay allows producers and directors more time to ensure films meet higher technical and artistic standards. The center stated the move is intended to avoid a concentration of film festivals in October, thereby reducing scheduling conflicts and allowing the event to serve as a kickoff for the national cinematic season.
