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.
During a pitching session for projects in development, a Swiss project will be selected for participation in European Short Pitch . The winner will benefit from a scriptwriting workshop, production and pitching training, mentoring sessions, and participation in the Coproduction Forum.
Pitching Session: P.AiR.S Project Development Residency
Kurzfilmtage is again awarding a Project Development Residency sponsored by P.AiR.S for an independent Swiss short film production. The residency consists of a seven-week stay in Sigriswil in January and February and is aimed at filmmakers (writers/directors) with a short film project in development.
Kurzfilmtage presents the Postproduction Award donated by Jingle Jungle Tonstudio. The award consists of postproduction services worth CHF 10 000.– (including VAT). The awarded postproduction services consist of dialogue/soundtrack editing, dubbing, sound design, foley, sound mixing, and music composition.
Kurzfilmtage presents the event Industry Conversation: Reasons to Buy a Film. 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. The event simulates a realistic situation in the film industry, demonstrating how professionals evaluate films submitted to them.
