Each year, the FIFO embarks on an exploration of Oceania. The event takes place in Tahiti at the Maison de la Culture. Every documentary film is a unique voyage into the heart of Oceania. The festival is above all an opportunitry for Oceanians to promote their culture and voice their concerns. After Tahiti, the festival goes on a tour of the other archipelagos in French Polynesia, then on to other parts of Oceania. It is a celebration of life in the Pacific for people from vastly different cultures.
