The 14\u1d49 edition of the Festival international du film d'arch\u00e9ologie de Nyon (FIFAN) came to a close on Sunday, September 7, 2025, after six days rich in screenings, experiences and encounters. With 32 films presented, 6 immersive experiences, 2 workshops, 4 conferences and over 4,000 visitors, <\/strong>the event confirmed its role as an essential platform for bringing together archaeologists, researchers, film-makers and the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unique immersive experiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, FIFAN offered a dedicated competition to virtual reality creations<\/strong>. These experiences have enabled the public to travel to sites that have disappeared, explore inaccessible places and experiment with new forms of heritage mediation. A audience prize<\/strong> was created to reward the best of these proposals, underlining the festival's commitment to integrating technological and artistic innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wide range of scientific themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The films selected dealt with subjects of great topicality for archaeological research. The bioanthropology<\/strong> gave us a better understanding of the life of ancient populations, while the theme of heritage in danger<\/strong> has highlighted the vulnerability of many sites around the world.
A highlight was also devoted to Swiss archaeology<\/strong>with three films and a lecture on major discoveries, attracting great interest from the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workshops and conferences: further reflection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the screenings, several conferences and two workshops<\/strong> enriched the program. The first focused on the contribution of immersive experiences to heritage research and enhancement; the second on the role of documentaries in scientific mediation. These moments of interdisciplinary exchange confirmed FIFAN's vocation as a forum for a place for dialogue and transmission.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family day to close the event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SuperFIFAN<\/strong>organized at Nyon's Roman Museum, brought the festival to a convivial close. Aimed at families, the event featured screenings adapted to the youngest visitors, as well as participatory activities promoting an intergenerational approach to archaeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
