Description

The Arab Film Festival Zurich is organized every two years by the association IAFFZ and the Filmpodium Zurich.The aim of the association IAFFZ & Filmpodium Zurich is to bring Arabian cinema and Arabic culture closer to the Swiss public. All members of the association IAFFZ work on an honorary basis.

Objective

The focus is on films by Arab filmmakers that could not find their way to “commercial” cinema. The program includes short and full-length feature, documentary, animation and experimental films exploring social, cultural and political issues. Discussions with the invited filmmakers also offer the audience the opportunity to discuss films and topics further. The Arab Film Festival Zurich is a place of encounters and dialogue between cultures.
