La Cinémathèque de Tanger (CdT), association à but non lucratif, se propose de recueillir et de promouvoir le patrimoine cinématographique marocain, de sensibiliser le public à l'histoire du cinéma et d'offrir une programmation inédite, à la fois exigeante et grand public.

The Cinematheque de Tanger (CDT), a not-for-profit organization under Moroccan tax codes, will open in its permanent home, Cinema Rif, on the historic Grand Socco plaza, in the heart of Tangier, Morocco. The theater stands in the Grand Socco, the heart of the city, at the auspicious intersection of the old (the medina) and the new.

The CDT's mission is to bring the great films of cinema history and today to our audience, to become Morocco's premiere venue for world cinema releases, and to archive and bring to light the unseen legacy of Moroccan film. Up until it was closed for renovations, the Rif was one of only a handful of active cinemas in Tangier and played B-rated Bollywood films. Our ambition is to transform this beautiful historic building into Morocco's leading movie house for independent cinema and repertory programming, an institute film education for children, students and professionals, and a place for the open exchange of culture and ideas.
