HAVE YOU PRODUCED A FILM IN CONNECTION WITH FINE CRAFTS? UP TO THE 18TH OF OCTOBER 2019 YOU CAN RESPOND TO THE FIFMA CALL FOR FILMS!

The forthcoming edition of the International Film Festival for Fine Crafts will be held from the 23rd to the 26th of April 2020 at the Le Méliès cinema in Montreuil, and at the Ciné 104 in Pantin, the Cin’Hoche in Bagnolet and at the Méliès for the FIFMA for Schools designed for school pupils.

The call for films is open to professional and amateur film directors from the world over. All film types are accepted: documentary, fiction, experimental and animated.
All films must be clearly associated with the subject of fine crafts, which they can approach in a range of different manners: architecture, fashion, landscape, anthropology, history of art, performances, fine craft creator portraits, etc. The link with the theme may also stem from the production technique (paper cut out animation, glass painting, ceramic painting, etc.)
An expert committee composed of professionals from the worlds of cinema and fine crafts will select the thirty films that will compete.
After all films have been screened, the jury will award 8 prizes, for a total value of €13,500:

• Grand Prize – €3,000
• Heritage Prize – €1,500
• Contemporary Prize – €1,500
• Short Film Prize – €1,500
• First Film Prize – €1,500
• Audience Prize – €1,500

• Young Audience Prize Primary Schools – €1,500
• Young Audience Prize Secondary/High Schools – €1,500

Films competing for the FIFMA Audience Prize must have been produced after 2013, whereas non-competing films can be screened whatever their production year.
