● History

The Fédération Internationale des Associations de Producteurs de Films was established in 1933, during the Great Depression, when film producers from around the world came together to address common challenges, such as piracy and censorship, with the help of International Federation of Film Archives and International Federation of Film Critics. The organization's early members included Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, RKO Pictures, and 20th Century Fox, as well as film producers from Germany, Italy, and Japan. During World War II, the organization played a key role in promoting film as a tool for propaganda and morale-boosting, working with Hollywood studios and British Ministry of Information. The organization has also worked with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and International Labour Organization to promote film as a tool for cultural exchange and economic development.
