Swiss Film Award 2013: “Nominees Week”: showcasing the best of contemporary Swiss cinema
Bern, 1.3.2013 - From 19 to 25 March Cinémas du Grütli in Geneva and Filmpodium in Zurich will offer the general public a chance to see all the films nominated for this year’s Swiss Film Award. This event, which showcases the diversity, versatility and vibrancy of film-making in Switzerland today, is an initiative by the Association “Quartz” Genève Zürich. As well as special screenings in the run-up to the ceremony, the Association has planned a series of debates and discussions which should throw into sharp relief the issues faced by the Swiss film industry in 2013, and the aspirations that drive it forward. The award ceremony itself, which is organised by the Federal Office of Culture, will take place in Geneva on 23 March.
