FIFA Connexions
FIFA Connexions
For arts and culture professionals
The FIFA Connexions days will return on March 16, 17 and 18 2026.
With the generous support of precious partners
For over 40 years, Le FIFA has been dedicated to the promotion and international influence of film on art and the media arts.
As a specific component of the Festival, FIFA Connexions invites national and international presenters and cultural producers, artists and platforms, and festival directors to discuss their distribution and production challenges through panels, interviews and talks.
Are you a presenter, cultural producer, artist or platform?
Returning on March 16, 17, and 18, 2026, Le FIFA opens a new chapter for its professional program, FIFA CONNEXIONS, which this year unfolds as a privileged space for meetings, knowledge-sharing, and professional development. While giving particular attention to emerging career paths, CONNEXIONS affirms its commitment to being an inclusive and welcoming environment, where newcomers and emerging talents fully belong alongside established professionals, in Quebec and internationally.
Round tables, conferences, workshops, pitch sessions, and professional meetings will foster dialogue around contemporary issues of creation, distribution, financing, and the circulation of works.
