The Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF)[1] (French: Festival international du film de Genève) is an annual film festival founded in 1995. The festival, previously called the Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans, was renamed in July 2017 as the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF). Every year for over ten days, it offers a series of experiences focused on image, sound, and new forms of narration, which include screenings, interactive installations, VR works, conferences, and live performances.[1]
The festival also co-hosts the ‘Beyond Cinema: Swiss Digital Showcase’ event at the Cannes Film Festival as well as the Swiss Party at Austin's South by Southwest festival and it is one of the first in the world to host an International VR Films Competition, as well as an out-of-competition section for digital works called Virtual Territories.
Emmanuel Cuénod has been the Executive and Artistic Director of the Festival since 2013.
The festival includes six competitions, events, and convergent sections (Nuits Blanches, Retrospective, Serial Days & Nights, Film & Beyond Award).
Highlight Screenings : major filmmakers, cult feature films and the year's most awaited films.
Rien que pour vos yeux : a section born out of desire to share our favorite funds.
