The Geneva International Film Festival // GIFF (French: Festival international du film de Genève) is a film festival which first took place in 1995.
The festival was previously named the Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans, renamed in July 2017 as the Geneva International Film Festival // GIFF.
Every year over nine 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.
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.
The festival 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: 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).
