We are also thrilled to see 6 new accredited festivals join the FIAPF-accredited community, which represented 4M admissions and 111,000+ industry delegates in 2025. A stronger, more connected global festival community is taking shape. Press release: fiapfcloud.egnyte.com/dl/BfG8bxpydmgD

The new model streamlines the accreditation framework, reinforces trust between festivals and industry, and gives unprecedented visibility to festivals’ impact through their key facts and figures.

FIAPF has just unveiled a major revamp of its accreditation program for international film festivals: A single unified list, a programming-agnostic approach, and annual data collection now define the updated model. #Film #Festivals
