Swiss Focus: Future Minds – Talents to Watch

Country Focus With Guests

This programme encapsulates the future of Swiss animation – discover a wide range of storytelling, animation techniques and artistic visions. We are always in search of something, always attempting to be ourselves. But do we even know what that means? This programme seeks answers to life’s big questions, showcasing some outstanding works that have celebrated success at festivals around the world and won prestigious awards. Among them are Antonin Niclass with DO NOT FEED THE PIGEONS (BAFTA Award) and Samuel Patthey with SANS VOIX (Golden Leopard/Locarno Film Festival and Fantoche Award). These are names we will be hearing a lot more in the near future.
