The International Political Film Festival (FIFP) returns for its eighth edition.
Created in 2018 by the Regard Caméra Association, the International Political Film Festival of Carcassonne is a film festival whose programme speaks to both audiences and the citizens we all are.
Based on human and civic values, centred around a passion for cinema, the event highlights films whose importance and relevance resonate with our individual and collective consciousness. While politics is commonly confined to partisan and electoral issues, it is only the artists and their works that take centre stage at the International Political Film Festival, creating a unique moment of cinema and citizenship.
In Carcassonne, we celebrate those who write, direct, produce, and contribute to the existence of this cinema that challenges, questions, and shakes us. The International Political Film Festival thus transforms Carcassonne, its city centre, and its medieval heritage into a hub for both French and international political cinema.
The ninth edition of the festival will take place from the 28th of january to the 1st of febuary 2027.
The ninth edition of the International Political Film Festival will take place in Carcassonne, Villemoustaussou and Limoux from January 28 to February 1, 2027.
La Boîte is a new cultural venue dedicated to political cinema in Carcassonne, extending the spirit of the International Political Film Festival (FIFP) throughout the year. Located in the heart of the Bastide, La Boîte is a project that won an award in the Aude Departmental Council’s 2025 Citizens’ Budget initiative, dedicated to film lovers.
