History

The CCM was created during the French protectorate in Morocco by a dahir issued by Sultan Sidi Mohammed (future King Mohammed V) on January 8, 1944, and published in the Official Bulletin on February 11 of the same year, [1] under the residency of Gabriel Puaux. The goal at the time was notably to compete with Egyptian cinema, which dominated the country. [2] After independence in 1956, it continued its activities while retaining its name.

Since 1982, it has organized the National Film Festival.
