Residency and training programme
Created in 2013, FIDCampus is a week-long residency-training and exchange programme aimed at students from partner art and film schools, as well as emerging international filmmakers. Each year, up to fifteen young filmmakers are selected based on their most recent film and their motivation, and take part in an intensive training programme. The week begins with two days of mentorship and collective discussions about their films, led by professional contributors (directors, cinematographers, editors, sound engineers). This is followed by a rich programme of screenings, masterclasses, and meetings organised for the participants.
In 2025, FIDMarseille further strengthened its commitment to international cooperation by stepping up its support for filmmakers, particularly those from Mediterranean countries. The aim is to foster the sharing of knowledge and expertise, networking of talent, and co-creation between the regions involved.
FIDCampus is developed in collaboration with several partners: the Ville de Marseille; the Mucem; La CinéFabrique - the National Film School in Lyon and Marseille - which awards the CinéFabrique Grant to one of the participants; COPEAM, which co-organises the À Première Vue Prize with FIDCampus; and Maritima TV, which awards the PRIM0 MED IN DOC broadcasting prize to one of the FIDCampus laureates.
