The “À Première Vue” awards recognize filmmakers from film schools in North Africa and the Middle East: attend the screening of their films and the awards ceremony on July 10 at the MUCEM!
À Première Vue aims to discover young filmmakers from the MENA region and showcase their work in the Mediterranean media and at regional and international professional and cultural events.
À Première Vue is a collection, a program of short films produced as part of film training courses. A panorama of first films by young talents from Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and, for the first time this year, Palestine.
Following a call for entries sent out to schools in the COPEAM network, and thanks to the support of TV5 Monde, Mucem, FID, Rai Cinema and other partners in the audiovisual sector, an international jury of film professionals viewed the 20 short films in the competition and selected the best films.
A transnational jury of young people from Morocco (in collaboration with the Cinémathèque de Tanger), Italy (in collaboration with Uninettuno University and ANICA Academy) and students from Marseille also awarded a Youth Prize.
Come and discover the 2025 winners of the À PREMIÈRE VUE prize at the Mucem.
Training partners: ALBA (Lebanon), ESAC Gammarth (Tunisia), ESAV Marrakech (Morocco), Lab DZ (Algeria), Dar Al-Kalima University (Palestine).
