The Fribourg International Film Festival was founded in 1980 to increase the visibility of the cultural richness of the Global South. Today, it continues to pursue the same goals, as the need to showcase films from Africa, Latin America, and Asia remains vital for cultural diversity in Switzerland. FIFF screens a wide spectrum of works, from auteur cinema to popular films, and aims to reach a broad audience. It is one of nine film festivals in Switzerland supported by the federal government. Over more than four decades, its high standards and rich history have earned it an outstanding reputation both nationally and internationally.
