The Fribourg International Film Festival takes place every year in Fribourg. Its aim is to promote quality films and thus contribute to ensuring cinematographic and cultural diversity in Switzerland as well as throughout Europe.
FIFF 2024 has chosen to devote one of the most important parts of its programme – the Genre Cinema section – to the cultural powerhouse of hip-hop. The line-up will feature around 10 films: some, like 1971 Shaft and Brian De Palma's Scarface, inspired the movement; others tap into foundational elements of the hip-hop universe, such as rap, graffiti art and breakdancing.
Fribourg International Film Festival aims to promote the understanding between cultures through films. It gives preferences to productions that stimulate reflection and provoke discussion. Our Festival shines a light on blind spots, reveals new talents and put the history of cinema in context with exclusiv approaches.
