The AVIFF festival has been presenting Artist films in Cannes in May for 14 years, like another “cinema”, a 3rd way/voice between cinema and visual arts, cinematographic work and contemporary work of art

Since then, the AVIFF festival has become an essential place for exchanges between authors, directors, artists and professionals from the film industry, who come from all over the world to meet the public.

During the year the Festival presents its official selection in partner venues, public & private, cultural and educational Institutions according to a program negotiated with the host venues and the Artists.

Since June 2023, the AVIFF festival has been offering its official program to the Marseille public at the "Les Variétés" cinema in the center of Marseille on the "Canebière".

​

The AVIFF Festival has been supported since 2012 by the Artist Angel Orensanz who each year awards a Prize for a film in the official selection: the “AVIFF & Angel Orensanz” Prize.
