kicks off Sept. 22 with a muscular lineup that includes some of the year’s most anticipated international pics while also putting the spotlight on Swiss and German-language cinema.
Jungen recalls Redmayne’s first visit to the 3rd ZFF in 2007: “At that time he was a completely unknown newcomer; he was starring alongside Julianne Moore in the opening film, ‘Savage Grace,’ and now 15 years later he’s an Academy Award winner coming back and accepting the Golden Eye. He’s the personification of what we love to do at Zurich – it’s all about discovering new voices, especially in the competition.
“In the last four years we have always had the biggest Swiss films at the box office – films that went on to have the best performance after their world premiere at our festival, Jungen says. “I think we have a very high chance of having the biggest one again this year with ‘Die goldenen Jahre’ [‘Golden Years’].”
ZFF also offers an ideal promotional opportunity of the domestic industry, particularly for Switzerland’s Oscar contender. As the second-biggest festival in German-speaking Europe, Jungen says its crucial for Zurich to have world premieres of big German productions.
