How to Industry

Our industry program offers a variety of opportunities and events designed to promote film talent and networking occasions, both for Swiss and international filmmakers. Two of our premier talent promotion programs are the ZFF Academy and the ZFF Summit Climber.

Another highlight of the Zurich Film Festival is the Zurich Summit, which stands as a premier platform for the creative industries. This boutique conference brings together a top-tier assembly of producers, sales executives, creators in film, TV, and entertainment, as well as technology entrepreneurs and financiers. It offers a rich blend of knowledge sharing and inspiration, alongside optimal networking opportunities. 

In addition to these initiatives, the ZFF organizes various events in collaboration with esteemed partners to further promote the film industry. Notable events include Leading FeMales, SRF Writer’s Day, ZFF Masters, SoundTrack_Zurich, the International Film Music Competition, Awards Special Screening, How to Kinderfilm, Serve & Slice, and Zürcher Filmnacht. Each of these events contributes uniquely to the industry by offering specialized platforms for learning, networking, and celebrating film.
