The festival presents a hundred films of all genres, from the countries of the East and West, and highlighting a cinema of quality shaking the norms and initiating dynamics of transformation of mentalities. The program explores oriental societies in their diversity and questions the boundaries between the East and the West, through fictions, documentaries and short films that are unknown or little known in Switzerland. FIFOG also seeks to initiate debates on themes related to the East as well as the West, to offer a platform of expression for young directors in Switzerland and the Orient, and to foster dialogue and understanding Intercultural dialogue.
