The e-pass and festival access

The accreditation portal offers an e-pass for access to films and conversations after an application is approved. Applications from the public and film professionals are due to open on 26 October. The portal specifies that applicants must be over 18.

Apply through the official portal and keep your approval message. Plan travel around the events and access you have confirmed, using programme times to arrange pickups.

A stay combining cinema and the city

Our suggestion is to choose one main cultural visit for time without a screening. Majorelle can fit an art-focused half-day; a Koutoubia and Jemaa el-Fna walk offers a more flexible outing. A lighter sightseeing plan leaves room for the conversations and encounters that make a festival stay special.

For several professional appointments, gather the addresses and arrival times in one itinerary. Arrange the final return to your accommodation too, as your evening may finish somewhere different from where it began.

Your transfers during the festival

We arrange journeys between the airport, accommodation and event venues. Choose individual transfers or a chauffeur for an agreed period. Your quote sets out stops, waiting time and planned returns; apply for your e-pass directly through the festival.
