The Zurich Film Festival has set itself the goal of making the festival accessible to all visitors. Which is why we've taken various measures to ensure a barrier-free festival experience:
Festival locations
- Festival Centre: The first floor (ground level) is accessible to wheelchair users. There is now also a barrier-free toilet. The second floor and the public terrace can be reached via a ramp.
- Frauenbadi: A platform lift and barrier-free WC facilities are available.
- Festival Ship (MS Wädenswil): The main deck is barrier-free and barrier-free WC facilities are available.

Films
The vast majority of ZFF films are screened in their original language with subtitles (German and/or English, French) to enable hearing-impaired viewers to follow the dialogue. Since 2017, participation for visually impaired people has also been made possible: In cooperation with the organisation "Regards Neuf", German-language films are now offered with audio description.
Contact
For questions regarding barrier-free access at the ZFF, please contact us by email or phone. We're also there for you personally at our Help Desk during the festival.
