Sustainability
The International Festival of Films on Art
On the move towards a better world!
At the International Festival of Films on Art, we firmly believe in the power of art to generate societal change. That’s why we’d like to share our daily commitments with you.
Beyond our policies of eco-responsibility, equity, diversity, inclusivity, non-violence in the workplace and respect for privacy, we regularly question our place and role in Le FIFA’s social involvement. We constantly revisit these policies, aware of the road we still have to travel, because we know that words are not enough; only actions count.
For several years now, we have been making a significant shift by adopting clear actions on both the environmental and social fronts. We look beyond the screen to understand our relationship with our territory and our community. Our aim is to make the festival a space where art is at one with ethics and an ecological and social vision.
But let’s not forget that the very essence of our festival is you, our audience, our community. We warmly invite you to join us in this quest for change and consideration. Together, we have the power to make a difference. We enthusiastically welcome you to our adventure where creativity and commitment meet for a better world.
