Outdoor Cinema Nights Coming to Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakech

Outdoor cinema is making a stylish comeback in Morocco’s biggest cities.

Fez – Starting June 20, Casablanca’s iconic hippodrome will swap horses for Hollywood as it transforms into an open-air cinema.

The experience is brought to life by “Cameo Cinema”, the team that’s been reinventing movie nights across Morocco since 2015 by screening films in unexpected and unforgettable venues.

Imagine this: a summer evening breeze, a blanket on the grass, popcorn in hand, and your favorite film playing under the stars.

That’s the magic that Cameo Cinema is promising again this year, and Casablanca gets the first round.

The goal isn’t just to show movies outdoors. It’s to turn public spaces into places where culture, community, and joy intersect.

And this isn’t just a Casablanca exclusive. Rabat and Marrakech are also on the lineup, each hosting their own summer program of films screened in open-air settings.

The idea is simple but powerful: take cinema out of the dark, climate-controlled multiplexes and bring it back to the heart of the city, where people can gather, connect, and experience culture in a shared, relaxed setting.

Since its launch, Cameo Cinema has turned rooftops, gardens, and historical landmarks into cinematic playgrounds.

This year, the summer program will once again feature a mix of classics, cult favorites, and indie gems, all curated to appeal to film lovers of every kind.

The locations are part of the charm. Think monumental architecture, sunset backdrops, and that unmistakable buzz that comes from watching something with a crowd that’s genuinely excited to be there.

It’s not just about films, it’s about reclaiming public space for culture and pleasure. In a time when cities can feel rushed, digital, and a little disconnected,

Cameo’s concept is a gentle reminder that leisure can be meaningful, and culture doesn’t have to be confined indoors.

It can be spontaneous, social, and yes, even under the open sky.

Whether you’re a cinephile or just someone looking for a special way to spend a summer evening, these screenings promise more than just a movie; they offer a moment.

Casablanca opens the season, but keep an eye on Rabat and Marrakech for their own cinematic surprises.
