YEAR 1 In 2014, FIDMarseille, International Competitive Film Festival, will continue to discover and highlight talents and will offer to the audience a programme of new films witnessing the vitality of the contemporary cinema and the young creation. If FIDMarseille’s roots are in the documentary, it is to remember that realities are our ground, without forgetting that this soil propagates many different worlds and even more ways of bearing witness to them. The cinema harbors a plural, a plurality of forms, formats, lengths, approaches, and gazes. Unexpected, daring, pertinent, rebellious, as surprising as our world, here is the kind of cinema that the FID is excited to champion. A unique moment when directors from all over the world nourish our present with all theirs. Spread into the competitions (35 films in world premieres) and “parallel screens” (which combine rare films from the past, close or far, and unreleased films which have been shown abroad), almost 130 films, fictions and documentaries, shorts and feature films, will be shown to the audience coming from the city, the territory, the country and the world (23 000 audience members), increasing every year and mixing new and curious audiences, young people, loyal audiences and professionals.10 locations host the festival : MuCEM, Villa Méditerranée, Théâtre des Bernardines, Cinéma les Variétés, Maison de la Région PACA, Bibliothèque Municipale L’Alcazar, Théâtre Silvain.Outdoor screenings, parties, concerts, young audience screenings, panels and master classes, exhibitions in associated art galleries and Q&As with directors will complete this intense programme. A video library, a professional catalogue, FIDLab and FIDCampus a will welcome our professional audience, reaching the number of 700 last year.
