Film Screening of ' Les Vestiges' by Rebecca Birch and Sarah Casey at the 14th Festival international du film d'archéologie de Nyon (FIFAN) .

FIFAN will be held from September 2 to 7, 2025 at the Usine à Gaz in Nyon, Switzerland. This free biennial event is aimed at professionals, archaeology enthusiasts and the general public alike. It will explore civilizations and various fields of archaeology with some thirty films, complemented by immersive experiences and lectures.

FIFAN provides an overview of the latest archaeological research, enabling visitors to travel from civilization to civilization through time. It is a bridge between archaeology, cinema and society. It highlights films that tell a different story about archaeology and heritage: excavations, discoveries, cultural and social issues. It fosters dialogue between archaeologists, filmmakers and audiences, while inviting us to reflect on our relationship with the past.

Organized every two years by the Roman Museum of Nyon and the Nyon International Archaeology Film Festival Association, the festival is a major event in Switzerland for archaeology, history and cinema enthusiasts. Created in 1999, it is one of the major international festivals of its kind, alongside Bordeaux, Rovereto and Athens.

The festival aims to support these innovative formats, which reflect the changing ways in which history and archaeology are written. It encourages artistic and technological explorations that transform the way we tell, transmit and preserve our heritage.

An international jury of experts from the fields of archaeology and film will award prizes and commendations to the best productions in the competition. The public will also be invited to award two prizes: the Audience Prize and the new Audience Prize for the best immersive experience. FIFAN rewards the most outstanding works, whether large-scale productions or low-budget films. It encourages creativity and innovation in the transmission of archaeological and historical knowledge.
