The second edition of the MASTER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (MIFF) is scheduled on May 6-13, 2023, in YASMINE HAMMAMET, Tunisia.
The first edition of this festival was held in June 2022, in this renowned seaside resort. Six minutes from Hammamet, Yasmine Hammamet gathers many all inclusive holiday clubs. The city is located in the South-East of Tunis: one hour away from the capital; it is halfway between it and the city of Hergla (near Sousse). MASTER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (MIFF) second edition will take place on May 6-13, 2023, in YASMINE HAMMAMET, Tunisia.
The Tunisian film festival is managed by an organizing committee and an advisory committee chaired by Mr Mokhtar LADJIMI (its Founding President), General Director of the Festival. He runs Justinia Films, his own film production company.
The festival aims essentially to reward films already awarded or selected internationally (Best Of of International Cinema) by conferring each year the trophy of "Gold Galion عارشلا يبهذلا" to encourage original and independent film creation but also to attract savvy film lovers.
The MIFF also aims to promote the seaside resort of Yasmine Hammamet as an international film destination and enrich the cultural tourism product.
The "Golden Galleons" are awarded annually, after a vote of an international jury and during a Ceremony broadcast live and recorded by various national and international broadcasters, in the presence of all the representatives of the selected films.
