La Dolce Vita à Mogador 2027 — 5th edition, Encounters with Italian Cinema in Essaouira
with Italian cinema
in Essaouira
A cultural bridge between Italy and Morocco.
La Dolce Vita à Mogador celebrates the excellence and creativity of Italian cinema, in the unique setting of Essaouira.
With the support of the Embassy of Italy in Morocco and the Italian Cultural Institute, the event has become a platform for exchange between professionals, students and audiences from both shores of the Mediterranean.
جسر ثقافي بين إيطاليا والمغرب، في فضاء الصويرة الفريد.
90 years of Cinecittà (1937–2027). The festival takes its name from La Dolce Vita, which Fellini shot in these Roman studios: paying tribute to them means returning to the origin of its name, and to the workshop where so much of Italian cinema’s imagination took shape.
Save the date. The programme is coming.
