The FIFOI Film Market, launched this year, aims to become a true hub for exchanges and opportunities for professionals in the film and audiovisual sector of the Indian Ocean region. This new space positions itself as a springboard for industry players, enabling them to develop their projects, strengthen their networks, and establish strategic partnerships. Rooted in the vibrant energy of Réunion, the event seeks to connect French cinema with international markets in the Indian Ocean area, making the FIFOI Film Market a reference platform for co-production, financing, and distribution of films in the region.
