European Short Pitch
As in previous years, Kurzfilmtage is collaborating with European Short Pitch. During a pitching session for projects in development, a Swiss project will be selected for participation in the 2025 edition of European Short Pitch. The winner will benefit from a scriptwriting workshop, production and pitching training, mentoring sessions, and participation in the Coproduction Forum.
On Saturday, 9 November 2024, a three-person jury of experts will select a project during a pitching session. The winner will be announced the same evening at the Industry Awards Ceremony. A team of Kurzfilmtage representatives selects the projects for the pitching session prior to the festival.
Swiss short film projects from the field fiction, documentary and animation are eligible for the award. School productions (including films by enrolled students, graduation projects of BA or MA programmes) can be submitted. The film’s length must not exceed 59 minutes.
Directors and authors who are Swiss citizens or who live and work in Switzerland can apply.
Application deadline: 10 October 2024
