Welcome to the one-of-a-kind Geneva Film Festival, which aims to support great but lesser-known directors! Our event was developed with the intention of opening up fresh viewpoints and giving aspiring filmmakers, whose talent has not yet gotten enough exposure, a chance to establish themselves.

We find fresh perspectives, unexpected storylines, and excellent acting and directing at this film festival. We seek to broaden people's perceptions on the film business and provide audiences with exceptional cinematographic works that can alter how they see themselves and the world.

Our festival features movies from all different genres, from experimental movies to art-house dramas. We provide directors the chance to present themselves and share their interpretation of the cinematic arts.

Each year, we choose the top movies to show our audience and judges. The festival's winners are given priceless awards and chances to advance in the world of cinema. We foster an environment where directors may share experiences, forge relationships, and look for new ideas, and audiences can delight in the discovery of distinctive talents.

    Great to win the award for best short film... The organisers need to develop a proper web site,page and communication system

  • I entered several categories and the event dates moved and the festival came and went and I sent several emails asking if my submission was actually shown or did it win anything or lost anything and no one emailed me back so I feel this was just an avenue to make money and nothing else. There are no updates on the website or any of the social media. Because of this, I will inform anyone I know not to submit to this festival as I believe this to be a scam.

    Glad to be accepted, but there’s been no communication since. No certificates or updates on film statuses of any kind.
