Zurich Film Festival reposted this
🇨🇳 Marking 75 years of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and China, Switzerland was honoured as the guest country at this year’s Beijing International Film Festival. Huge credit goes to the phenomenal team at the Embassy of Switzerland in Beijing Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA, who pulled off an incredible program — connecting a 20-person Swiss delegation with key players in the Chinese film industry across 30+ events🇨🇭 I had the privilege of representing the Zurich Film Festival, alongside colleagues from Locarno Film Festival, Geneva International Film Festival - GIFF, Filmbulletin, the Swiss Film Commission, , HEAD – Genève, University of Art and Design, University of Zurich — and, above all, a group of truly inspiring Swiss filmmakers. Together, we shared the vibrant, bold, and forward-looking spirit of Swiss cinema. This journey has been truly eye-opening. Once again, it reminded me how vital cultural exchange is — not just to showcase our creativity, but to connect across differences, share ideas, and open doors for collaboration along our democratic values ❣️ Thank you for the inspiration, the energy, and the new friendships that made this experience unforgettable.
