THE POSTER OF THE 26th EDITION: RESISTANCE & CREATIVITY

Entrusted for the 3rd consecutive year to the graphic designer Laura Cocchi, the poster of this 26th edition plunges the GIFF in a bath of acidulous smoke. “Through this poster, we wanted to pay tribute to a certain transgressive spirit of the 90s, with a deliberately trashy and contrasting treatment, like an explosion of candy pink on a uniformly black background,” explains Emmanuel Cuénod, general and artistic director of the Festival. “We also find elements of the year we’ve been through: areas of vagueness, an ocean of uncertainty but also the idea that in times of crisis, culture constitutes an act of resistance and creativity.”
