The festival offers a rich program of film screenings, book presentations, panel discussions, artist talks, and book signings, which take place at various locations in Perpignan. It is known for its intimate atmosphere, which encourages direct contact between the audience and the invited artists, authors, and filmmakers. The picturesque city of Perpignan in southern France also contributes to the special atmosphere.
Target audience:
The festival is aimed at a diverse audience ranging from art historians, curators, and bibliophiles to film enthusiasts, students, and the general public interested in art. It attracts both professionals who want to find out about current publications and productions, as well as visitors who want to rediscover the world of art through the media of books and film.
History:
FILAF was founded in Perpignan in 2011 and has since established itself as a fixture on the international cultural calendar.
