The Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF) is an annual film festival founded in 1995. Previously called the Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans, it was renamed in July 2017 to the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF). Every year for over ten days, the festival offers a series of experiences focused on image, sound, and new forms of narration. Offerings include screenings, interactive installations, VR workshops, conferences, and live performances. The GIFF includes four award competitions, one honor award and four convergent sections. 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. Emmanuel Cuénod was the Executive and Artistic Director of the Festival from 2013 until 2020; Anaïs Emery took over in January 2021. The 30th anniversary edition will take place from 1 to 10 November 2024.
