For its 31st edition, the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF) welcomes Alan Ball — a defining voice of television’s golden age and the Oscar-winning writer of American Beauty (1999). Through works such as Six Feet Under, True Blood, Banshee, and Uncle Frank, Ball has explored grief, identity, sexuality, and family with rare sensitivity and audacity. In this moderated conversation, he reflects on his creative journey, his transgressive storytelling, and the enduring power of character-driven drama.
