Timimoun, Algeria – Ooredoo Algeria has announced its sponsorship of the first-ever Timimoun International Short Film Festival, reaffirming its dedication to supporting culture, youth, and creative expression within the nation.
The telecommunications giant will serve as a key sponsor for the festival, which is scheduled to take place in the Saharan city of Timimoun from November 13th to 18th, 2025. The event, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and Arts, will highlight African cinema and the short film format as powerful mediums for artistic expression, dialogue, and social transformation.
This initiative underscores Ooredoo Algeria’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent, promoting Algerian cultural diversity, and stimulating local film production. The sponsorship aligns perfectly with the company’s vision for a comprehensive digital and cultural future for Algeria.
“We are proud to support the Timimoun International Short Film Festival,” a spokesperson for Ooredoo stated. “This festival presents a unique opportunity to showcase the talent and creativity of filmmakers, particularly those from Africa, and to foster a deeper appreciation for the art of short film.”
This sponsorship follows Ooredoo’s recent launch of a national screenwriting competition in July, aimed at aspiring filmmakers and enthusiasts of Algerian history. The competition sought original short film scripts, further demonstrating Ooredoo’s commitment to investing in the future of Algerian cinema.
By supporting the Timimoun International Short Film Festival, Ooredoo continues to play a vital role in the development of Algeria’s cultural landscape and the empowerment of its young creatives.
