We are pleased to open the fourth season of the Switzerland International Film Festival with live screenings in the enchanting country of Switzerland.

No matter if you have never made a movie before, but have a burning wish to do so, or you have already made hundreds, this is the Festival for you.

What sort of movies you make, whether you create complex dramas set in medieval times, prefer fast-paced action thrillers or make nothing but western shaky-cam romantic comedies, we want to hear your story and see your vision!

Your submission can be new or old, long or short, everything we require is that you are proud of what you made!

    SIFF is a great festival with awesome organizers. Highly recommend it. Even though I wasn't able to attend because of the distance and travel / COVID concerns, they offered online screenings and were very good at communicating!
