The Amazigh Film Festival coming to Boston, Massachussets in Fall 2023 is now accepting entries.

Filmmakers may submit to multiple categories by June 15th, 2023. Accepted entries will be showcased during the event, and select Filmmakers will have the opportunity to attend and introduce their film directly to the audience.

The Amazigh Film Festival is an annual event founded in Los Angeles in 2007 by Helene E. Hagan, President of Tazzla Institute for Cultural Diversity. This is a unique event in the U.S. to showcase Amazigh artists, cinematographers, and musicians from North African Amazigh culture. The festival is also a unique opportunity to educate the American audience about Amazigh culture which extends from the Canary islands, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, the Siwa Oasis of Egypt, and down to the Saharan countries Mali, Niger, and Burkina-Faso.

This year’s festival will be presented by the Amazigh American Network Organization, AANO, in collaboration with the Tazzla Institute for Cultural Diversity. The event has always been open to the public with free entrance, although we are asking those who are able to make donations here to help cover some of the event costs and support the work of Amazigh filmmakers. AANO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your donations are tax deductible.

Please fill out this form to submit your film. For entries produced by more than one contestant, please include the information for both filmmakers.
