Partenaires des Rencontres Photo Face à la mer

By bringing together local public institutions, cultural foundations, copyright advocates, and pioneers of technological solutions, FALM is creating a forward-looking model based on solidarity.

Together, these partners combine artistic empowerment, sustained support for emerging talent, ethical protection for creators, and mastery of the digital tools of tomorrow—affirming Tangier as a hub for vibrant, free, and protected Mediterranean creativity.

This collective dynamic could not exist without the invaluable loyalty and unwavering steadfastness of our partners. Since 2019, their renewed commitment—combining enduring support for emerging talent, ethical protection for creators, and mastery of the digital tools of tomorrow—has formed the essential foundation of this venture.

We extend our warmest thanks to them here: it is thanks to their trust that FALM establishes itself, edition after edition, as a hub for Mediterranean creativity that is vibrant, free, and protected.
