Fes Culture
The most prominent annual festival in Morocco, the Festival of World Sacred Music (website: www.fesfestival.com), takes place in Fes around the end of May - early June and lasts for about 10 days. It brings in visitors and performers from all over the world to share spiritual music from their cultures. Sacred music doesn't mean that the music performed is necessarily religious; rather that the music will lift viewers' spirits as musicians display a variety of styles, from European classical to Sufi music, African classical guitar to Japanese drumming and American gospel. A variety of venues are used and some concerts are free. Accommodation during the festival is hard to come by, so arrangements need to be made as far in advance as possible.
A few cinemas in the Ville Nouvelle show foreign films, mainly dubbed into French as does the Cinema Boujeloud (inside Bab Boujeloud) in Fes el-Bali.
