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 of FIFF will take place from 15th to 24th March 2024, featuring 100 films, but also Q&As, panel discussions, exhibitions, and parties !
This year FIFF is dedicated to celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.
There are 18 films on the programme about 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.
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.
