Marrakech – The Institut Français du Maroc is hosting an international celebration of digital cultures. Novembre Numérique offers audiences across the country a unique opportunity to explore new forms of artistic creation and discover emerging talents from Morocco’s digital art scene.

Launched in 2017, this global festival returns with a vibrant 2025 edition combining visual arts, virtual reality, cinema, and live performance, alongside workshops, discussions, and roundtables, the Institute announced in a statement.

Throughout November, 12 branches of the Institut Français du Maroc will showcase one hundred works accessible on mobile and tablet devices, from augmented reality and video games to podcasts and digital sound creations. 

Visitors will also experience a virtual reality selection exploring fiction, art, heritage, and documentary themes.
