From 6\u1d57\u02b0 to 15\u1d57\u02b0 March 2026, the FIFDH invites audiences to reflect on our relationship to reality at a time marked by the rise of fascism, profound geopolitical, environmental, social and technological upheaval. This reflection is embodied in the edition\u2019s posters, a diptych drawn from The Anthropocene Illusion<\/em>, a major series by British photographer and filmmaker Zed Nelson. <\/h3>\n\n\n

\n \u201c In an age of proliferating screens and fragmented information, reality is often transformed into dramatised narratives in which fear takes precedence over understanding. Faced with images that capture our attention without necessarily grounding us in reality, the FIFDH programme affirms the need for a careful reading of the complexity of the living world, of our responsibilities, our actions and our relationships. \u201d

Through the lens of photographer Zed Nelson<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Produced over six years and across four continents, Zed Nelson<\/a>\u2019s photographic series The Anthropocene Illusion<\/em> offers a political and sensitive critique of our relationship to the living world. Through a documentary approach, it reveals a reality filtered through screens, transforming the world into sanitised, staged images. In keeping with the Festival\u2019s programme, the posters question the contradictions of contemporary societies: our disconnection from the world, our relationship to nature, and our isolation from others. These images highlight a growing tendency to replace lived experience with an artificial version of reality, an illusion that distances us from our responsibilities in the major crises of our time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zed Nelson <\/strong>will sit on the 2026 International Jury alongside US author and playwright Sarah Schulman<\/strong>, Congolese filmmaker Dieudo Hamadi<\/strong>, British director Sandhya Suri<\/strong>, Swiss programmer Jenny Billeter<\/strong>, and Palestinian author Adania Shibli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a9 Don’t Let the Sun<\/em> by Jacqueline Z\u00fcnd<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Remaining true to its commitment, FIFDH interweaves documentary and fiction in a programme that interrogates contemporary upheavals through powerful, embodied narratives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festival will open with A Fox Under a Pink Moon <\/em><\/strong>by Mehrdad Oskouei and Soraya Akhlaghi, a portrait of a young Afghan artist on the run as she seeks to reach Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closing film will be the surreal fiction Don\u2019t Let the Sun <\/em><\/strong>by Swiss filmmaker Jacqueline Z\u00fcnd (cinema release on 18\u1d57\u02b0 March 2026). Set in an overheated dystopian world where humanity lives by night, the film explores solitude and the vital need for human connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and engagement, this 24\u1d57\u02b0 edition of FIFDH reaffirms the role of cinema as a site of collective awareness and transformation, essential in a world where human rights are increasingly under threat. Save the date! The full programme will be unveiled on 12\u1d57\u02b0 February<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
