The "ACT 2026" program was launched in Gelmim, Morocco, to provide training for young people from the Gelmim-Oadnoun region in film and audiovisual professions. The program is a joint initiative of the Gelmim-Oadnoun regional council, the Higher Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Professions, and the Moroccan Association of Cinema and Audiovisual Production.

The program, which lasts for nine months, aims to equip young people with the skills needed to succeed in the film and audiovisual industry. A total of 84 young men and women were selected to participate in the program after a rigorous selection process. They will receive training in various aspects of film production, including directing, writing, and technical skills.

The "ACT 2026" program is designed to promote the development of the film and audiovisual sector in Morocco, particularly in the Gelmim-Oadnoun region.

The "ACT 2026" program is expected to have a positive impact on the film and audiovisual sector in Morocco, by providing a new generation of professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the industry.
