The 40 Club
A club for our 41th edition
For its 41st edition, the International Festival of Films on Art has invited around forty artists, business figures, and friends of the festival to join the Club of 40 and become ambassadors of this anniversary edition.
The FIFA is an event that brings people together by opening a window onto the very essence of human beings. Discovering artists, creators, but also and above all, what lies behind classical, avant-garde or experimental artistic expressions, is a privilege, a glimpse into the deepest parts of the human mind, imagination and genius.
From March 14th to 26th in theatres and from March 24th to April 2nd online, more than 220 films from over 49 countries will be screened. The FIFA is now the largest festival of films on art in the world.
