Fipadoc, the first international documentary meeting in France, returns from January 19^th to 27th in Biarritz for a 6th edition which opens the year and sheds light on winter and the world by sharing and celebrating all forms of documentary storytelling for all screens: from cinema, television, and series, including virtual reality, podcasts with the link to the musical creation.

The plural and unique meeting place in Biarritz between films, audiences and filmmakers from around the world, in all their diversity. For its 6th edition, Fipadoc confirms its extended format, starting on Friday January 17, to respond to public demand and professionals ‘enthusiasm.

In its extended format, initiated last year and including two weekends, the festival will offer to the spectators - general public and professionals - more than 140 films, 5 documentary series, 25 short films and 19 digital experiences.

Christine CAMDESSUS, general delegate of Fipadoc declares: “Like every year in these first days of the year in Biarritz – these are projects that have since become short and feature films, virtual reality experiences, animated or archive films, series, testifying all of the infinite variety of forms that true stories can take on, as long as the sincerity of their authors carries them.”

Anne GEORGET, president of Fipadoc adds: “Faced with the surge of images and information, faced with the ever-increasing speed of their arrival in our lives, we defend the celebration of the long term and the power of documentary views to bring us out of the shadows. In 2024, the program devotes a significant part of its selection to repairing the omissions of the past to better bring about a more desirable present.”
