We are developing a high quality festival that becomes independent again after trying the adventure of Rothschild villa, owned by the city of Cannes that has been available for AVIFF for free in 2015 due to a decision of the culture service of the municipality, that we thank in passing, but inappropriate for this kind of event. The place although classified and splendid is not suitable for our festival and is located too far away from La Croisette.
This edition 2016 will see the AVIFF in the center of the city and facing the sea, near the port of Cannes.
We offer good visibility and the opportunity for those of you who have been following us for years to share our objectives to better promote films by artists with perseverance and passion.
See you in Cannes
