SINCE 2010
For 15 years, the AVIFF festival has presented artists' films in Cannes in May, acting as another "cinema," a third way/voice between cinema and visual arts, cinematographic works and contemporary works of art.
Since then, the AVIFF festival has become an essential venue for exchanges between authors, directors, artists, and film industry professionals, who come from all over the world to meet audiences.
Throughout the year, the festival presents its official selection in partner venues, both public and private, and cultural and educational institutions, according to a program negotiated with the host venues and artists, or upon request, as a "curation."
Since June 2023, the AVIFF festival has moved to Marseille to meet other audiences and open new horizons in this multicultural city brimming with creativity.
The AVIFF Festival has been supported since 2012 by the Artist Angel Orensanz and his Cultural Foundation in NYC, which awards a prize each year for a film in the official selection: the "AVIFF & Angel Orensanz" Prize.

What is it ?
A word from the
director
For 14 years now, we have been sailing the choppy seas of crazy artists who offer us tumult and upheaval. Passing from Japan to South Africa, from Australia to the United States, from Norway to Portugal. Each year we revel in this cultural and artistic richness. Each year, the juries discover and imagine a universe beyond borders, beyond our own conception of the world and its attractions. Through voice, body, painting, or drawing, these artists deliver messages from the most intimate to the most universal. They cry out love or despair. Tenderness or violence. Rare are those who don't have a lot to say. But beyond personal messages, there are those of others. Of our fellow human beings. Of our neighbors. And we had to offer them to you. Today, in a uniform and rugged world, we offer you the words of international artists who will never hide again. Come and discover their worlds, their declamations.
