The International Federation of Film Critics, known by the initials FIPRESCI from its French name, is an association of national organizations of professional film critics and journalists. It was founded in Brussels with the aim of promoting film culture and protecting the professional interests of film critics. FIPRESCI is best known for awarding prizes at major film festivals, including Cannes, Venice, Berlin and Toronto, through juries of critics, who select works independently of the festivals' official juries. It also publishes a magazine and holds discussions on cinema. Its headquarters have been in Munich, and its membership extends across five continents.
