THREE DECADES OF INNOVATION: DISCOVER OUR JUBILEE POSTER
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF), the commemorative poster was entrusted for the first time to Andréa Philippon, a multidisciplinary artist and 3D designer. This exceptional creation highlights a universe rich in reimagined botanical elements, symbolizing both the past and the future of the Festival and its Market.
Each plant element has been reinterpreted with a touch of surrealism, echoing GIFF and GDM’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of audiovisual creativity and exploring new forms of artistic expression.
By placing innovation at the core of his design, Andréa Philippon has captured the very essence of GIFF—an event that stands out for its ability to transform cinema, series, and virtual territories beyond traditional conventions. This poster doesn’t merely celebrate three decades of success; it also invites audiences to dream and immerse themselves in the unique audiovisual universe that GIFF offers.
“For GIFF’s 30th anniversary and the 12th edition of the GDM, I’m truly happy to have created the graphic universe representing the festival. The elegance of the visuals unfolds harmoniously through the diversity of plants and flowers in bloom—each subtly reflecting the different facets of the festival, such as the history of cinema, the evolution of technology, and its community spirit. These animated posters reflect the richness of the worlds presented during the festival, invite our imagination to wander, and celebrate our shared passion for the audiovisual arts.” – Andréa Philippon
