Multiple-month course for the biggest film fans

At the ZFF for Kids Studio, children shoot their own short film: they play the leading roles themselves, direct and operate the camera, record the sound, and organize the right props and costumes. The studio is run by filmkids.ch.

One weekend per month, the children attend a workshop on a specific topic (screenplay, acting, camera work, etc.). They develop their own film idea, which is then realized during the summer holidays in a week-long film shoot. The following week is spent editing the film. Interested children can also participate in this process and help compose the film music.

The grand finale will be the premiere of the finished film at the 22nd Zurich Film Festival (September 24–October 4, 2026). After a photo shoot and the film premiere on the big screen, there will be a reception to celebrate the film.

Our intensive course ZFF for Kids Studio is held in German only. Please refer to the German page for more details.
