Fidback - the FIDMarseille cinema magazine

Fidback is a new film magazine published by FIDMarseille.

Every spring, Fidback looks back over the past year: a look back at the last edition of the FID, a look back at what’s happening in the world of cinema, a look back at the work of a filmmaker close to the festival, outside the news.

Based on a dozen or so films chosen and illuminated by texts, interviews, documents and previously unpublished material, each issue will compose an image of the cinema defended by FIDMarseille: the unexpected image of an adventurous cinema.

The books

FIDMarseille is adding to its collection of books, launched last year, dedicated to the filmmakers and artists to whom the retrospectives and tributes are devoted.

Driven by the spirit and energy of a festival, these lively, collective books welcome a wide range of forms and types of writing – critical essays, documents, writings by the filmmakers themselves and, above all, their own words.

One, Two, Many, is the title of a film by Manon de Boer, presented at FIDMarseille in 2012.
