A sort of "headhunter that shows the way", as defined by Anaïs Emery, GIFF proposes every year, alongside its more "classical" competitions, powerful opportunities for reflections on the diversity of genres. For its 28th edition, the festival offers the audience a chance to discover two major immersive installations: the VR project Evolver, narrated by Cate Blanchett and produced by Edward R.
