Every film shown at the International Peace Festival | Festival International de la Paix is an extraordinary viewing experience. The IPF | FIP Film Merit Awards are prizes awarded by the International Peace Festival as part of its initiative to raise awareness for the social relevance of films. This year the festival honors 10 films with a Best Film Merit Award, each film of which originates from a world region mostly aligned with the continent on which the country of film origin is located.  A Film of the Year Award is also conferred on a film selected for its valuable work on humanitarian and environmental issues.  All Award winners will be presented with an original award created by AB Crystal Collection at the Awards Ceremony held annually at the closing of the festival.
