The Festival International du Film Maritime, d'Exploration et d'Environnement is a film festival held annually in the Palais Neptune, Palais des Congrès, in Toulon, France.
The festival was founded by Jacques-Henri Baixe, who began his career as a navy doctor.
He was also an avid collector of films: he created the Cinémathèque Mondiale de la Mer (World Film Library of the Sea).
The first Festival was held in 1954 in the Maison de la Chimie in Paris.
In subsequent years, it alternated between the Gaumont Palace Cinema in Toulon, the Salle Pleyel in Paris, Port Grimaud near St-Tropez, the Centre Culturel de Châteauvallon near Toulon, the Opéra Municipal de Toulon, and finally, since its construction in 1991, the Palais Neptune at the Palais des Congrès de Toulon.
