The International Federation of Actors (French: Fédération Internationale des Acteurs, FIA) is a global union federation bringing together trade unions representing actors.
History
The federation was established in 1952, on the initiative of the British Actors' Equity Association, and the Syndicat Français des Artistes-Inteprètes. The organisation's logo was designed by Jean Cocteau. In 1970, the International Federation of Variety Artists joined the organisation.
For many years, the secretariat was independent of both the main international federations of trade unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the World Federation of Trade Unions, and as such, by the 1980s, it represented both unions in capitalist countries, and in communist countries.
In 1997, the organisation affiliated with the International Arts and Entertainment Alliance.
