CINEMATIC TANGIER

While Tangier has provided atmospheric backdrops for movies such as The Sheltering Sky and James Bond’s Spectre, it is also home to one of Africa’s great film houses, Cinémathèque de

Tanger ( cinemathequedetanger.com). Set in the refurbished Cinema Rif and run since 2007 by a collectif d’artistes, the space screens the best of world cinema in pale yellow Art Deco surrounds. As well, check the listings for current performances by Morocco’s two best-known theater companies, both from Tangier: Theatre Darna ( fb.com/theatredarna) and Spectacle Pour Tous ( fb.com/spectaclepourtous).
