Shnit happens

After Solothurn, Nyon and Winterthur, Bern is also becoming increasingly important as a new backdrop for creative short films. In October, the festival with the elevated title Shnit ensured a colorful autumn for the 7th time. 80 competition films from 3,500 international submissions were allowed to compete for a very handsome prize money of 45,000 francs. The genre of the film is "irrelevant". The main thing is that the film is "shnittig". A total of 250 short films provided creative entertainment for over 22,000 viewers. A well-received cultural commitment for the main sponsors Valiant and Coop. Numéro 10 provided communication support for the event, using various guerrilla campaigns. For example, three-dimensional objects with posters were set up and dismantled at key locations at short notice. Feature films were creatively chopped up and recut. The trailers have lived on as viral spots ever since. The festival has also spread into the real world. This year, Shnit also premiered in Cologne at the same time. pan
