Renowned as the most important festival in its domain, the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA) highlights local and international artists whatever their discipline in an exceptional selection of films.

The 27^th edition of FIFA will see 45 films competing including 10 Canadians films of which 7 are from Quebec. Never have so many films from Canada and Quebec competed in the festival. Among the chosen films, let us mention Colville, Félix, The Jazz Baroness and Ken Follett.
