In addition to our established formats – the Swiss Film School Day, the Industry Lab, and the Creators’ Room – there are exciting opportunities for filmmakers in various phases of production.
The Script Coaching for short film projects is presented by Kurzfilmtage in collaboration with FOCAL. It offers six to eight Swiss authors/directors an opportunity to receive professional feedback on their short film scripts during free coaching sessions.
The Pitch: SFC | Rendez-vous Industry & P.AiR.S Project Develoment Residency
A project will be selected for participation in the 2027 edition of The Lab – Writing Hub at SFC | Rendez-vous Industry. The winner will benefit from script-mentoring sessions, a tailor-made programme made of plenary & individual sessions, a keynote on Festival circuit & distribution, access to the SFC | Rendez-vous Industry general events.
Another project will be awarded a Project Development Residency sponsored by P.AiR.S. The residency consists of a seven-week stay in Sigriswil in January and February.
Kurzfilmtage presents the Postproduction Award donated by Jingle Jungle Tonstudio and Kamerawerk. The award consists of postproduction services worth CHF 20 000.– (including VAT). The awarded postproduction services consist of dialogue/soundtrack editing, dubbing, sound design, foley, sound mixing, and music composition.
Kurzfilmtage presents the event Would You Buy This?. It offers short film directors an opportunity to present the first three minutes of a current project to experts who work in acquisitions, sales, and distribution. Prominent industry representatives watch the clips and assess the films’ market potential.
