The Talent Screen festival for young filmmakers is taking place for the fourth time at Zurich's Gessnerallee. From August 29 to September 5, young filmmakers can showcase their talent in five different categories. The festival kicks off on Friday, August 29 at 12 noon with the announcement of the theme for the Movie Marathon. From this point on, the filmmakers have 48 hours to produce a complete short film. A jury headed by director Oliver Rihs will select the ten best films. These will be shown at the Gessnerallee on September 5 and judged by the audience.
New to the program this year is the Script Academy, a two-day workshop for aspiring screenwriters. Another program item is the Pitch Kitchen, where six writers can cook for various screenwriters and have the opportunity to elicit their best writing recipes. At the Pitch Café, eight participants can present their screenplay ideas in a speed-dating session with Swiss producers. Screenwriters can compete in a direct duel on stage in the Pitch Battle. Two people compete against each other and try to win over the audience for themselves and their screenplay.
The final with the award ceremonies will take place on September 5 at the Gessnerallee. The total prize money amounts to over CHF 30,000 and is co-financed by Swiss television and the film distributor and cinema operator Pathé, among others.
Pre-registrations and accreditations for the start event of the Movie Marathon and the final event on September 5 will be accepted by e-mail (
