FIFEQ's 21st edition

May 7–10, 2025

Capturing life on film is already a complex challenge. When visual anthropology and ethnography come into play, that challenge deepens. Welcome to FIFEQ-Montréal! Since 2003, the festival has been driven by a passionate community of volunteers—mostly students in anthropology, sociology, and film studies, along with cinephiles—who carefully watch, debate, and curate a unique selection of films. These films, in turn, become the foundation for powerful conversations between filmmakers, anthropologists, and audiences. For this 21st edition, the festival’s programming takes a deeply reflective turn, inviting viewers to question perception itself. At its core: the duality of the visible and the invisible.
