The 40 Club
A club for our 40th edition
For its 40th edition, the International Festival of Films on Art invited forty artists, business people, and friends of the Festival to join the 40 Club and become ambassadors for this anniversary edition.
Le FIFA is an event that brings people together by opening a door to the very essence of human beings. Discovering artists, people of culture, creators — but also, and especially, what is hidden behind classical, avant-garde, or experimental artistic expression — is a privilege, a look deep into the human mind, the imagination, and genius.
From March 15 to March 27, more than 200 films from more than 45 countries will be screened in theatres in Montréal and Québec City, as well as online across Canada on the ARTS.FILM platform. Today, Le FIFA is the biggest festival of films on art in the world.
