Film Festival

ABOUT
Set in the enchanting country of Switzerland International Film Festival for filmmakers. No matter if you have never made a movie before, but have a burning wish to do so, or you have already made hundreds, this is the Festival for you.
What sort of movies you make, whether you create complex dramas set in medieval times, prefer fast-paced action thrillers or make nothing but western shaky-cam romantic comedies, we want to hear your story and see your vision!
Your submission can be new or old, long or short, everything we require is that you are proud of what you made!
