Depuis plus de quatre décennies, le Festival International du Film sur l’Art (Le FIFA) tisse un lien précieux entre les arts et le public. En offrant une scène où cinéma et arts médiatiques prennent vie, il enrichit l’appréciation de l’art et met en lumière le talent des artistes d’ici et d’ailleurs.

Par son audace, son innovation et sa créativité, Le FIFA participe au positionnement de Montréal comme destination de choix pour toutes celles et ceux intéressés par la scène artistique et culturelle. Le gouvernement du Québec est fier de soutenir la 43^e édition de cet événement devenu incontournable.

Bon festival !

The arts help us tell our stories, recognize our shared humanity and build a vision for the future together.

And the world needs more of what the arts provide: more beauty, more conversation and more connection — that’s why there has never been a more urgent need to support the arts.

Arts organizations and artists are essential to their communities, ensuring that people across Canada have the opportunity to experience great art. The Canada Council for the Arts is proud to support the International Festival of Films on Art and its creativity in bringing the arts to life for audiences from coast to coast to coast.

Telefilm Canada is proud to promote and celebrate stories that reflect the diversity of voices and communities of our country. That is why we are happy to partner with the International Festival of Films on Art (Le FIFA) to champion Canadian and Indigenous creators and their work! 

Investing in films and reinforcing the importance of cinema is at the center of our mission. Festivals play an invaluable role in boosting the visibility of homegrown films, supporting the growth of the audiovisual sector so that our stories continue to touch hearts and bring us closer together. 

Continue to watch homegrown films in festivals, in theatres or on your screens!

For decades, the International Festival of Films on Art has inspired reflection and encounters around all art forms. Under the visionary leadership of Philippe del Drago, it unveils unsuspected artistic practices to neophytes and enriches the knowledge of enlightened enthusiasts, always eager for new discoveries.

While local and international cinematographic works will illuminate Montreal, Le FIFA has also thought of those who prefer the comfort of home to urban effervescence. A mosaic of creations is offered through an innovative digital fresco.

CAM is delighted to continue its support of this event which, through art, nourishes our collective soul.
