For over 20 years, we’ve been travelling across Switzerland with our Short Film Night Tour, bringing shorts to cinemas and cultural centres in 27 towns and cities. From Lucerne and Schaffhausen to Locarno and Lausanne, audiences have cast their votes for their favourite works. This programme compiles the top six films that have made viewers laugh, marvel, and reflect through the night.
With closed captions and audio description (via Greta app).

Lux Carne
Gabriel Grosclaude / Switzerland 2024 / 18' / DCP / colour / French / Fic
In a world where meat consumption is strictly regulated, every citizen must obtain an annual meat license to have the right to consume it. Élie, intrigued by the resilient minority who still choose to eat it, sets out to report on this unique day. However, events take an unexpected turn for her.

Storytelling
Nils Hedinger / Switzerland 2024 / 7'42" / DCP / colour/black & white / no dialogue / Ani
From cave drawings to echo chambers, the history of humankind is a history of storytelling.

And Me, I'm Dancing Too
Mohammad Valizadegan / Iran/Czech Republic/Germany 2023 / 20'33" / DCP / colour / Farsi / Fic/Doc
With rhythmic fluidity, Saba's body moves to the music. Dancing is what she lives for, how she expresses herself – yet she is not free to do so in her own country. In a film dancing the line between documentary and fiction, a moving portrait emerges of a generation of young Iranians hemmed in by the Islamic republic's rigid rules.

Bâtardes glorieuses
Camille Giry/Justine Lossa / France 2024 / 10'40" / colour / French / Fic

Im Stau
Alan Sahin / Switzerland 2023 / 16'46" / DCP / colour / German/English/French/Italian / Doc
Dogs walking in the service lane, bachelorettes partying in the car, and a bored child looking for something to do. Thousands of impatient travellers are trapped in the traffic jam of the century. Between them and the sunny south lies the Gotthard massif, home to one of the longest tunnels in the world. Glued to the asphalt, climate activists are heating up the mood even more. Who will snap first?

Cottage Cheese
Liina Luomajoki/Janina Müller/Lena Metzger/Alice Kunz / Switzerland 2024 / 5'16" / DCP / colour / Swiss German / Ani
