FIFIB - Bordeaux International Independent Film Festival

FIFIB, a meeting place for independent cinema

FIFIB (Festival International du Film Indépendant de Bordeaux) was born in 2012 with the ambition to highlight international independent cinema. Every autumn, it transforms Bordeaux into the capital of auteur cinema for an intense week of screenings and encounters.

Competitions and selections

The festival offers several competitive sections: an international feature film competition, a short film section, as well as special screenings and previews. The selected films represent the diversity of world independent cinema, from first films to works by established filmmakers.

Encounters and masterclasses

FIFIB is also a place for encounters between filmmakers and the public. Masterclasses, round tables, and post-screening discussions allow for a deeper reflection on contemporary cinema. Retrospectives and tributes complete the program.

A strong Bordeaux identity

The festival takes place in the cinemas and cultural venues of Bordeaux, notably Utopia and the Jean Vigo cinema, creating a friendly atmosphere typical of human-sized festivals.
