The International Festival of Audiovisual Programmes ('Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels in French) (FIPA), founded in 1987 by Michel Mitrani (1930-1996), was first held in Cannes in October 1987.
The festival was moved to Nice in its eighth year (1995), and, since 1997, has been held in Biarritz, France.
Famous quotes containing the word festival:
“Marry, I cannot show it in rhyme, I have tried; I can find no rhyme to “lady” but “baby”Man innocent rhyme; for “scorn,” “horn”Ma hard rhyme; for “school,” “fool”Ma babbling rhyme; very ominous endings. No, I was not born under a rhyming planet, nor I cannot woo in festival terms.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
