32nd Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF)
Overview
Intro
The 32nd edition of the GIFF will take place from October 30 to November 8, 2026: a space for experimentation, connection, and celebration, it will feature films, series, and immersive experiences.
Founded in 1995, the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF) is one of the oldest film festival and one of the first in the world to include television in its programs. A crossroads of genres and disciplines, a place of experimentation, encounters and celebration, it offers every year for ten days, films, series, interactive installations and virtual reality works to some 35,000 festival-goers. The largest space in Switzerland dedicated to immersive arts, the GIFF has become one of the major events in Europe.
At the heart of the event is the GIFF PRO, a unique event in Switzerland dedicated to audiovisual innovation. More than 800 professionals of the image, industrialists and theoreticians from all over the world meet, debate and exchange on what makes the audiovisual universe of today and what will cross it tomorrow.
GIFF is also active throughout the year through its mediation program and its GIFF UNLIMITED program, which brings together each year a series of events organized in partnership with other Swiss and foreign institutions, festivals and markets.
Recognized as a strategic player in the development of the audiovisual sector in Switzerland, GIFF is supported by the City and State of Geneva, the Federal Office of Culture, SRG SSR, RTS, Loterie Romande, MEDIA Desk Suisse, SWISSPERFORM, as well as numerous private actors.
