Recap: FIPRESCI 100th Anniversary Celebrations

Here we come to the end of a very special year, not only because it marked FIPRESCI’s 100-year anniversary, but also due to a change in the Federation’s management after about four decades of stability.We consider it a resounding success: with celebration events organized around the globe, new juries and initiatives launched, the modernization of FIPRESCI’s image, and—above all—the overwhelming love and support we received everywhere from colleagues, partners, and all those who believe in our mission to foster film criticism, empower voices, and build a truly global community. More than 350 critics from over 60 countries benefited from FIPRESCI membership in 2025 as jurors, speakers, contributors, mentors, and more. The Board remains committed to creating even more opportunities in the new year to support our profession and our colleagues.

On the link, you can see the recap of all events the federation run in partnership with festivals around the globe, an evidence that film critics all over the world stay committed to the Federation’s key value: to create, outside all ideological and political distinctions, a new foundation for a permanent dialogue through watching cinema.

Happy holidays, and here’s to the next fruitful 100 years of film criticism!
