First held in 2005, Zurich Film Festival established itself very quickly on the national and international film festival scene. The formula for its success it's probably a mix of an attractive location: an international but small city of Zurich a great selection of movies and different programs/events.
The best way to explain Zurich Film Festival's success is to quote/paraphrase the sentence I found in the industry booklet a few years ago. Basically, the organizers agree on a few basics for a successful film festival: “content is king, collaboration is key and encounters among creative folks are essential”. I am glad to confirm that even after this many years, the organizers are still taking “these basics” seriously while developing the festival further and, most importantly, in the right direction.
2022 was another successful year for Zurich Film Festival.
The 18th edition of Zurich Film Festival broke all records and attracted 137'000 visitors (20k more than in 2019), had 580 screenings, with 90 sold-out ones, 38 world and European premieres and, at 41.4%, the highest proportion of female directors than ever before.
I have seen 30 movies and got together with 3 female directors, one lead actress and one movie inspiration for quick interviews. If you follow the search with the following hashtags: #zff #zff2022 #gimmeabeat you'll find the ones that I reviewed until today and the new ones. You can also find my highlights if you follow the search with the following hashtags: #zff #zff2022 #highlight #gimmeabeat
In tonight's Gimme A Beat (21.11.2022) I will be focusing on the movies:
- The Swimmers, directed and co-written by Sally El Hosaini. I had a chance to interview Sally, Nathalie Issa, lead actress and Yusra Mardini, movie inspiration
- Unruly / Ustyrlig, directed and co-written by Malou Reymannm, whom I had a chance to interview.
- Blue Jean, directed and written by Georgia Oakley, whom I had a chance to interview.
