Would You Buy This?
Kurzfilmtage presents the event Would You Buy This? (formerly 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.
A team of Kurzfilmtage representatives selects a maximum of five film clips for participation. The event is held on Saturday, 7 November 2026 at blue Cinema Maxx, Kesselhaus Winterthur.
Swiss and international productions – fiction, documentary, animation, and experimental films – are eligible.
Applicants must have made at least one short film that was screened publicly (cinema, television, or festival).
Application deadline: 1 October 2026
