This means that FlexOffice will be front and center during the upcoming edition of the festival, which will take place from 6-15 November in Geneva. Sounds exciting? We agree. Grab some popcorn, candy and your favorite drink \u2013 it\u2019s going to be a magical fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its inception in 1995, the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF) has been all about innovation. The festival, which takes place for ten days every fall, understands itself as a laboratory, bringing together the worlds of film, TV and digital arts. Every year, it attracts over 40\u2019000 international guests who enjoy a program that blurs the lines between genres and disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all about pushing boundaries and encouraging the exchange of creativity, skills and ideas,\u201d says GIFF Director for Partnerships, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Poffet. \u201cFlexOffice shares this vision \u2013 that\u2019s why we know that it\u2019s the perfect place for us to set up our headquarters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexibility sparks creativity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Offering private offices with access to shared lounges, meeting rooms and creative zones, at FlexOffice, tenants can permanently interact with a broad range of companies \u2013 from high-tech startups to multinationals. \u201cOur diverse community is a strong pull for our tenants,\u201d says Fanny Wosko, Location Manager at FlexOffice in Geneva, \u201cbecause it clearly boosts their efficiency and creativity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the community is not the only reason why the GIFF decided to move into FlexOffice. The possibility to easily adapt office space according to emerging needs convinced the festival organizers that FlexOffice is the right way forward. \u201cThe closer we get to the festival, the bigger our team gets and the more space we need,\u201d says Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Poffet. \u201cThe unique offer at FlexOffice allows us to seamlessly grow with our team, without the usual hassle of looking for additional office space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the culture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As it\u2019s the case with most industries, the corona-crisis had a strong impact on the cultural scene worldwide. Artists, venues and institutions have struggled to survive. \u201cAt FlexOffice, art has always been important to us,\u201d says Fanny Wosko. \u201cNow, more than ever, we see it as our duty to support local culture. That\u2019s why we\u2019re particularly proud to partner with the GIFF this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of succumbing to it, the organizers of the GIFF embraced the challenging nature of the current moment and turned it into an opportunity. \u201cThis year, the GIFF will all be about transgression,\u201d says Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rique Poffet. \u201cSo far, 2020 has been a year full of uncertainty. With a festival that emphasizes powerful art and a great atmosphere, we want to counter that dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nNow, more than ever, we see it as our duty to support local culture.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
And that seems to be exactly what we all need right now. We look forward to ten uplifting days filled with lively film screenings, unique art exhibits and special guests. And of course, great locations. Come and join us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
