Morocco's 19th Salé International Women's Film Festival continued a long-running focus on women working in cinema, Africanews reported.

The programme put women's stories on screen and drew attention to opportunities, financing and roles for women filmmakers. Nine feature films were selected for the fiction competition, while Arabic subtitles were introduced to make screenings more accessible to local audiences.

The report also highlighted exchanges between male and female filmmakers and described the festival as a place for discovering films that could travel to other African events.

The event has promoted women's participation in Moroccan cinema for more than two decades.
