Geneva-based human rights film festival FIFDH (March 6 – 15 2026) has put out the final call for projects, at production and post-production stage, for its Impact Days industry programme.
Throughout its various programmes the FIFDH facilitates meaningful alliances between filmmakers and key impact players. The festival draws on many years of engagement at the heart of International Geneva’s network of organisations, policymakers, and philanthropists.
PROJECTS IN PRODUCTION & POST-PRODUCTION
For the 2026 edition of Impact Days, organisers are looking for documentary projects with a strong potential for impact across two sections:
- The International Pitch For projects in production or post-production, around which makers wish to develop an impact campaign.
- The Swiss Focus Pitch Swiss projects also have the opportunity to be selected for the Swiss Focus pitch, for Swiss projects whose campaign is aimed to be implemented – either in part or entirely – in Switzerland.

COMPLETED FILMS WITH AN IMPACT CAMPAIGN
For completed films with a current or ready-to-go impact campaign, FIFDH is organising a public event during the Festival, comprising of a screening of the documentaries followed by a panel discussion related to the issues raised by the films. FIFDH will also help makers and producers refine their impact objectives and strategies, design and present an Impact pitch and identify partners outside the documentary sector in order to reach strategic target audiences.
