The Decolonial Film Festival is coming to Toulouse: United Souls will be there.

After two previous editions in the Paris region, the Decolonial Film Festival – DFF is finally coming to Toulouse , from November 21 to 23, 2025.
A unique edition, supported by a programming committee made up of local organizations , which offers a selection of films around three essential themes: Heritage, Diasporas and Resistance .

For three days, exhibitions, performances, screenings and debates will be spread across several partner venues:
– La Mèche , a community space for exhibitions and creation
– The cinemas Le Cratère, L'American Cosmographe and Utopia Borderouge

Having met them at their second edition, the Parisian collective of DFF immediately captivated me with its energy and commitment: a young, dynamic festival, driven by activists aged 25 to 35 who question colonization, power relations and contemporary forms of resistance through cinema.
Their guiding principle is clear: to question the past, to illuminate the present, to resist through images .

United Souls, a committed partner of the DFF

As an official partner of the collective, United Souls fully supports this initiative and invites you to participate in this first Toulouse edition.

On Sunday, we will be offering a stand selling tote bags at the association price of 10 euros , part of the sales of which will be donated to the DFF to support the continuation of this decolonial initiative.

Following an unfortunate incident that occurred on Thursday, November 13th at La Fabrique , we will unfortunately not be able to present our t-shirts at the festival.
This act of vandalism resulted in the disappearance of a batch of 50 t-shirts and reduced our material capacity for this edition.

However, we still have our tote bags, which we are making available. As is often the case, the story continues despite the obstacles, and sometimes even because of them.

No stigmatization: Mirail is a neighborhood that deserves better.

I want to make one important point clear: I do not wish to exploit this incident in any way , even less in the pre-election period, to cast aspersions on Mirail.

This Toulouse district has long suffered from deep socio-economic difficulties, with a poverty rate approaching 50%.
In such a context, delinquency is a symptom of structural inequalities, not an expression of a neighborhood identity.

I remain convinced that the presence of a university in Mirail is an opportunity for our Republic:

- An essential tool for social mixing , emancipation , and the fight against economic and intellectual exclusion.

- What happened to us is regrettable, but I prefer to see it as a sign for the future. As our Muslim brothers and sisters say:
A blessing in disguise, an offering for a better future .

Keep going, always

Our mission remains: to keep alive memory, art and struggles , where some doors close and others open.
This Toulouse Decolonial Film Festival is precisely one of these openings.

Join us from November 21st to 23rd , in the partner spaces of the DFF, for three days of cinema, reflection and collective resistance.
