Join us for the launch of Video Consortium Marrakech, the first Video Consortium hub in Morocco, at Les Étoiles de Jemaa El Fna. The evening will feature a screening of Beyond the Atlas Lions: Morocco's Aspiring Footballers, presented in collaboration with Al Jazeera World.
The gathering offers an opportunity to connect with filmmakers, video journalists, photographers, producers, editors, media professionals, cultural organizations, and members of Morocco's wider creative community.
Taking place during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while Morocco competes in the group stages, the event comes at a particularly exciting moment for Moroccan football. As the country looks ahead to co-hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup, it is an opportunity to reflect on the stories, ambitions, and communities that surround the game.
Beyond the Atlas Lions follows aspiring footballers across Morocco as they pursue their ambitions, offering an intimate look at the people and stories behind the sport.
Whether you work in nonfiction storytelling or are simply interested in documentary media, this event is a chance to meet the VC Marrakech community and learn more about Video Consortium's global network.
Video Consortium is a global nonprofit network supporting documentary filmmakers, video journalists, and nonfiction storytellers through events, community building, and professional development.
