Morocco is now one of the leading film locations in the world, whether for cinema or television, for big budgets or small productions. In April 2015 The Guardian even called Morocco the second best international base for making films.

The Centre Cinématographique Marocain announced that in 2016 MAD 280 million (about €26 million) had been invested by mainly foreign production companies – a slight decrease on 2015 but nevertheless a very high figure.

During the year 24 foreign films were shot in the country (e.g. Brad Anderson’s Beirut, Shirit Neshat’s Looking for Oum Kulthum, Per Fly Plejdrup’s Backstabbing for Beginners) as well as numerous TV series, such as Prison Break and Le Bureau des Légendes.
