International Political Film Festival

Carcassonne, city of political cinema for a week

Festival Introduction

The International Political Film Festival (FIFP) becomes the CitéCiné Festival.

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 seventh edition of the festival will take place from 16th to 20th January 2025.
