Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans
Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans has been exploring the relationship between cinema, television, and new forms of digital creation since 1995, with a program based on one simple idea: Authors are at the heart of audio-visual creation and their viewpoints are expressed through our screens.
As a place where all genres and disciplines meet, the Festival fosters an attitude of celebration and experimentation. Five competitive sections enforce the discovery of new talents, while the out-of-competition program (Nuits blanches, Focus, Rétrospective, Grandes Premières, etc.) celebrates - in picture and music - the diversity and wealth of audiovisual arts. Finally, the program for professionals, Workflow, is dedicated to new digital trends.
The 21st Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans will take place from November 6 to November 14, 2015.
Television
Iconoclastic, subversive, and visionary - Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans was one of the first European events to screen the made-for-television works of renowned filmmakers across the world. Its International television series competition served to reveal such series as 24, Damages, The Killing, Hatufim and, more recently, Top of the Lake, and Rectify.
Its bold choices systematically give priority to cutting-edge programs and creative series, simultaneously highlighting the authors’ essential roles when screenwriting.
The Festival also features a selection of the year’s best television films produced by some of the most exciting contemporary filmmakers.
Digital
Since 2008, Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans has explored new participative and interactive forms of screenwriting. This pioneering festival is one of the few in the world to host an International competition for transmedia works supporting various actions year-round in this field (Hackathon CERN-Tribeca, TEDx Transmedia, etc.).
The Festival also pays tribute to several web series via a Competition devoted to the genre, which audaciously blends fiction with documentary projects. The Festival contributes to the recognition of web series as a format in itself by restricting its selection to only the best web projects.
