Set for March 20–29 in the Swiss city of Fribourg, this year’s edition revisits the event’s origins while highlighting emerging filmmaking scenes and genre traditions from around the world.
Revisiting the Festival’s Origins
A key strand, Deciphering: The 1st Edition of Fiff looks back to the festival’s inaugural edition in 1980, when the event was launched under the name Festival of Third World Film. That first lineup introduced audiences in the Swiss university town to works from regions that were rarely represented in European theatrical circuits at the time.
The Deciphering program revisits five of the seven films screened during that inaugural year, giving audiences a rare chance to experience some of the festival’s earliest highlights.
