Fast. Funny. Made up. The improv comedy show for those who love to laugh!
Feeling blue as the winter holidays end? Find yourself forlorn as you take down the decorations? Catch yourself staring at the calendar and thinking, with rising panic ‘Wow. 2020. A new year. A new decade.’?
We’ve got your back.
Grab a friend and start the year off right with Geneva’s premier Renegade Saints improv: the faces are familiar, the scenes are fresh.
As always:
– Tickets go on sale from 19h00 just outside of the room
– Doors open at 19h30
– Show starts at 20h00
– Tickets are 10CHF at the door (cash only)
The Renegade Saints are a well-oiled improv comedy machine. Blending a range of backgrounds in a typically Genevan international community style, the Renegade Saints have been bringing their patented wit and side-splittingly hilarious fast-paced improv style to this glamorous basement stage since 2013.
You can catch them monthly at the Mr. Pickwick Pub (normally the 2nd Thurs of each month), at festivals, and book them for private shows, workshops for your organization. They also run improv classes.
Do you risk a dunking in this deep cinema bath? Don’t worry! Being dunked was never such fun, thanks to a lush selection of 39 films that weave links between 25 countries and get you from Brazil to Iran or China in two breaststrokes! On the way, you’ll meet some indomitable animals, discover some ‘lively’ family relationships, some young people guided by their beliefs as well as two sessions on overcoming our fears. For those who’re not scared of getting wet, a broad range of workshops is on offer this year, from filming-editing on 16mm to stop-motion directing to radio production techniques and songs from across the world. There’s something for all ages and tastes!!
Registration for the workshops (atelier@blackmovie.ch) as well as for the Kid’s Jury (juryenfant@blackmovie.ch), is now open (link to the full programme below).
And finally, on the Festival’s second weekend, a glitz-splashing bomb: Gregaldur is staging a not-to-be-missed cine-concert around maestro Garri Bardine’s classics.
So, go for it, just take the plunge! Dip into the multiple streams of our fountain of youth! They’re made to enrich kids’ minds and take adults back to the days of their childhood!
The Black Movie Festival full line up will be unveiled on 7th January on: http://www.blackmovie.ch
Swiss Premiere Screening of “Doin’ My Drugs” film in Geneva followed by discussion: HIV: 40 years Later, Discrimination Still Kills, with panelists Buttenschøn, Rosen, and Osborne; Charlotte Sector, moderator.
Swiss Premiere of Doin’ My Drugs in Geneva followed by a discussion: HIV: 40 years Later, Discrimination Still Kills, with Film subject, recording artist and AIDS activist Thomas Muchimba Buttenschøn; Doin’ My Drugs Documentary director Tyler Q Rosen; Executive Director of the International AIDS Society, Kevin Osborne and Charlotte Sector, the Multimedia Communications Manager of the United Nations (ONU) UNAIDS.
Doin’ My Drugs is the story of musician Thomas Muchimba Buttenschøn—born HIV-positive in 1985—and his crusade to use his music to wipe out AIDS in his native Zambia and beyond. Doin’ My Drugs aims to raise awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic in Zambia—a country of 17 million people where more than 1.2 million are HIV-positive or have the disease. Zambia’s situation is mirrored throughout the developing world.
A father to two young children, Buttenschøn has kept his HIV in check and his family virus-free, by “doin’ his drugs.” He recognized that his native Zambia remains trapped in a horrific and senseless AIDS crisis. While a significant percentage of the population there is infected with HIV, many antiretroviral drug treatment programs that keep the virus dormant—“a near-zero viral load” as Buttenschøn says—are widely available through government programs for free.
Mr PIckwick invites you all to one of his favourite annual events., St Patrick’s day.
Kevin Lloyd will start with a set of traditional Irish classics, followed by high energy Pirate Punk band, the High Sea Looters.
We’ll be serving green beer & you can have a silly hat too.
Lá an Phádraig sona, Slainte!

We are delighted to celebrate with you the 10th edition of the GIJFF festival. Through cinema we can discover our cultural diversity, our traditions and the issue around us. In 2020 we changed the French title of the festival to better express this diversity.
Full programme and tickets from 14th February.

The exhibition is dedicated to the works of the most prolific member of the “Boissonnas dynasty”, Fred Boissonnas (1858 – 1946). It sheds light on a whole aspect of his career that is both underappreciated and crucial: his journeys on the Mediterranean Sea, which he spent the first three decades of the 20th century roaming in search of light, of the Great Greece and free Egypt, of Homeric settings and Biblical landscapes.
Most of his photographs, presented here for the first time, are part of bequeathed collections now owned by the Bibliothèque de Genève. Both poetic and mesmerising, this exhibition also attempts to provide insight into the ambivalent and passionate relationship between Europe and the Mediterranean.
