Support Us

This festival would not be possible without the generous support of numerous film enthusiasts. We are grateful for support in all its forms – be it as an active team volunteer (during the festival) or through the financial contribution of a donor or supporter.

As a member of the exclusive ZFF Donors circle you contribute significantly to the promotion of emerging filmmakers. Your donation enables the Zurich Film Festival to invite the competition directors to Zurich and reward the winning films with a respectable cash prize. As a ZFF Donors member, you profit from exclusive not-for-sale privileges, such as invitations to the Opening Night and the festive Award Night at Zurich’s opera house, as well as the possibility to purchase tickets for all events ahead of general sale dates. 

You can be a ZFF-Supporter for as little as 100 CHF a year and assist the ZFF in its aim to offer new and highly promising filmmakers an important platform and those networking opportunities essential to their film.   

Volunteer workers are equally essential during the festival. Your work as a volunteer in cinemas and ticket booths, at the Festival Centre or at numerous other festival events contributes significantly to the smooth running of the ZFF. Your effort is rewarded with a festival pass and the possibility to experience the ZFF up close.   

We look forward to your commitment!
