Switzerland’s film schools are major producers of shorts. Kurzfilmtage offers them a platform to present their films to the public and for dialogue and networking.

Mixed, inter-school sessions provide opportunities for in-depth discussion of individual works, and the jury of the Swiss Competition gives feedback to the filmmakers in attendance. The Award for the Best Swiss School Film is presented in the evening.

Organized by Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, with the kind support of SRG SSR, Bundesamt für Kultur BAK and Beisheim Stiftung.
