Pink Apple 2009 is before the start
The Pink Apple Gay and Lesbian Film Festival will take place in Zurich from April 29 through May 6. The festival will feature around 100 films from 25 countries, including one Swiss production.
On April 29, the 12th edition of the gay and lesbian film festival Pink Apple will be opened in Zurich by the new Zurich city president Corine Mauch. During eight days, until May 6, around 100 short and feature-length films from 25 countries will be shown. According to a media release, the organizers expect up to 7,000 spectators and numerous international guests. As part of the short film competition, which will also feature a Swiss production, "Vandalen" by Simon Steuri, a jury of four will present the "Pink Apple Award" worth 2,000 Swiss francs. The audience determines its favorite film. At its "birthplace" Frauenfeld, Pink Apple will then show the highlights of the festival again from May 7 to 10. Afterwards, Pink Apple will be present with a special program at EuroPride 09 in Zurich.
