Organized by the Aïcha Foundation in partnership with the French Institute of Meknes, the Meknes International Animation Film Festival (FICAM 2026) is holding its 24th edition through May 20. Fabrice Mongiat, deputy director of the institute, spoke to Yabiladi about what makes this year’s event unique: a festival firmly rooted in its local setting while also extending its reach to other cities.
Graffiti artist Said Sabbah, known as DAIS, began his journey in Meknes through hip hop culture and quickly turned street art into a full-time pursuit. In recent years, he has expanded his practice by painting on Moroccan carpets, blending graffiti with traditional craft to create a distinctive artistic signature.
