Film Festivals Association

The Swiss Film Festivals Association

In March 2010 organisers of the major Swiss film festivals joined forces to form the Swiss Film Festivals Association. This step initiates a structured exchange of information between the most important film festivals in Switzerland.
 
The point of departure for the Association is the mutual conviction that film festivals make a substantial contribution to the national film culture. The Swiss Film Festivals Association aims to represent these common interests in the public sphere and bolster collaboration with respect to the operative, technical and film-political areas.
 
The founding members of the association are: Cinéma Tous Ecrans (Geneva), Fantoche (Baden), the Black Movie Festival (Geneva), the Festival del film Locarno, the Fribourg International Film Festival, the International Short Film Festival Winterthur, Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival, Solothurn Film Festival, Visions  du Réel (Nyon) and the Zurich Film Festival and Castellinaria (Bellinzona).
