The second Francophone Animation Film Writing Residency will take place March 13 through April 10, 2017 in Meknes in Morocco.

In 2017, the residency will receive partnership support from National Film Board of Canada, Festival Anima (with support from the Belgian SACD and Wallonie-Bruxelles Images (WBI), and the Instituts Français in Algeria, Ouagadougou, and Paris.
It will welcome 6 authors from the north and south:

- Youcef Koudil (Algeria) with the “L’état et l’habitat” project
- Sophie Markatatos (Belgium) with the “Rebelle & Rebelle” project
