The 20th edition of African Film Festival will take place in the Moroccan central city of Khouribga from Sept. 9-16, the organizers announced in a statement.
The festival, which was scheduled to start on September 2, was delayed owing to the Eid Al Adha celebration that coincided with that date. Up to 14 feature films from 14 countries will compete for the festival’s prestigious Grand Prix Sembene Ousmane, according to the festival’s statement.
The festival jury consists of seven members and will be presided over by the Moroccan poet and author Abdellatif Laabi.
