Fribourg International Film Festival - 38th edition
Listen Again
Wednesday, 13 March 2024 - 8 minutes
The Fribourg International Film Festival aims to promote understanding between cultures - through film. It shines a light on different cultures, traditions, and reveals new talents within the film industry. The 38th edition will feature 100 films, but also Q&As, panel discussions, exhibitions, and parties!
Festival Director Thierry Jobin joined Katt Cullen on-air to talk about this highlights including;
The 50th anniversary of hip-hop - where 18 films on the programme centre the culture of hip-hop, such as La Haine, 8 Mile, Casablanca Beats and The City of Wild Beasts (La ciudad de las fieras).
The New Territory section will honour the film art of North Macedonia - which is in itself a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities and religions. FIFF takes an uncompromising look at a country that has suffered occupation and war, leaving it with a fractured identity marked by conservatism, struggling to reconcile and move on from the past. The films showcase the quick-witted and cheerful nature of Macedonians, with a sensitive and intelligent approach to filmmaking.
The 38th edition of FIFF will take place 15 - 24 March 2024.
Tickets can be purchased for a single film for just CHF 16.- for a full price adult ticket, but reduced price tickets or multi-film passes, day passes, and full festival passes are available.
