Solveig Sautier, your FIFAD adventure took place in two stages. Additionally, Consequently, Explain to us.
I arrived at Fifad Thanks to Jean-Philippe Rapp, with whom I worked at the International Festival Media North South. In addition, In 2007, he announced that he wanted to take over a new Festival at the Diablerets. Moreover, I made the first edition with him, then went independent in events. In 2016, Jean-Philippe offered me the position of Secretary General of FIFAD, which became that of operational director.
After Olivier Français in the spring, you are leaving. It will make a big upheaval.
It is sure, but Gilles knows the festival very well, its historic partners, will bring all its network, its knowledge. Olivier Français les diablerets: solveig sautier leaves said it before me: after ten years, you have to give way.
How did the team react when you told them your departure?
It was surprise and a lot of emotion, including me. It was a festival that helped me rebuild myself following my departure from Valais. an organization in which I have many ties.
What are you going to do in Montreux?
I was appointed head of the service of the economy, culture and tourism of Montreux. A position created to collect. direct this service, necessary to support the cultural and tourist life of the city and its development. We are always talking about “big” (Montreux Jazz, cultural season, musical September), but there are also theaters, museums, neighborhood events. It’s going to be rich. For me, it’s a great professional development, a culmination.
What FIFAD do you about to go to the person who will succeed you?
A festival that grew up. thanks to the work of a whole team, which displays a relatively good financial base, which is at a pivotal moment in its history.
That’s to say?
FIFAD has reached a limit. To develop it again, while retaining its DNA in the Deviablerets, you have to develop new collaborations, with other places. It is a moment that always ends up arriving for festivals that are successful. The idea is to develop antennas elsewhere.
FIFAD is a lot of emotions. beautiful encounters for Solveig Sautier, here with the director and freerider Nicolas Falquet in August 2024.

Exact. It is a first big step. Now you have to see further. And for that, you have to find new partners, try to further involve public institutions, find new opportunities. Our image is growing, and we now want to establish our national aura.
Are you going to suggest an antenna in Montreux?
(Laughs) It will not be my priority, but it is possible. Feasable, to les diablerets: solveig sautier leaves see. Gilles Marchand did not fail to joke about it.
What will you miss the most?
The team, of course. Very strong links. Committees. The selection of films, when you are four or five to watch series films, to discuss, to redo the world.

In ten years, if only one film remained, a person, for a moment?
(Long hesitation) I would say for a moment. Benoît’s accident in 2019. three days before the festival (Editor’s note: Benoît Aymon, struck by a car while he was cycling). We were very afraid for him. we had to do as usual: «show must go on»but by finding solutions to this crisis situation.
