Switzerland International
Film Festival
2018
17 – 21 December
Due to numerous requests we run the Second Season with live screenings - Especially for filmmakers from around the world!
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!
The Festival will be held online to reach as large an audience as possible. Therefore, your submission can be new or old, long or short, everything we require is that you are proud of what you made!
