A cultural gathering devoted to fungi.
For four days, cinema, illustration, gastronomy and public space become gateways to discovering the world of fungi from a new perspective.
Fungi
ignore borders.
So does the festival.
The region
A festival for Greater Geneva
Geneva Fungi Fest is rooted in the Greater Geneva region. Its program unfolds across several venues, creating a cultural journey that moves beyond administrative borders.
Screening venues, walking routes, meeting places and spaces for discovery all form one experience, imagined as an itinerary through different ways of exploring the world of fungi.

Cinema Fungi
Cinema is at the heart of the festival.
For four days, documentaries, independent films, shorts and experimental works explore the many dimensions of the fungal world.
Each screening is selected to open a dialogue between science, art, stories and imagination.

Nature discovery
A magical journey through Geneva’s forests.
Through guided group outings, participants will be invited to observe fungi in their natural habitat and understand the essential roles they play within ecosystems.
As decomposers, regulators and partners to plants, fungi transform matter, nourish soils and contribute to the networks connecting species. These walks reveal a life that is often invisible, beneath our feet, in dead wood and throughout the landscape.
Taking place on both sides of the border, the nature program will cross forests, farmland, riverbanks, wetlands and inhabited areas throughout Greater Geneva.
