GENEVA : CINEMA AND TELEVISION INTERNATIONAL MEETING POINT

A UNIQUE FESTIVAL WITH AN INTERNATIONAL NOTORIETY

Cinéma Tout Ecran presents on big screen what has been produced for the small ones. It has this way opened a window on a field bustling with creativity which changes the boundaries between cinema and television, where the main points are the quality of the work and the singularity of the director.

Cinéma Tout Ecran is a festival looking for new films and new authors. Above all, it looks towards artistic quality of works made for television or cinema, the representation of the real through fiction and technological advances.

Cinéma Tout Ecran has therefore presented and awarded the following major works during its previous editions:
Atom Egoyan’s Gross Misconduct, Robert Guédiguian’s Marius et Jeannette, Michael Apted’s Always Outnumbered, Peter Kosminsky’s No Child of Mine, Arturo Ripstein’s Asi es la vida, Catherine Breillat’s Brève Traversée.
