27. Pink Apple Filmfestival – Political, personal, intimate - this is the 27th Pink Apple Film Festival
At this year's Pink Apple Film Festival in Zurich and Frauenfeld, around 80 feature and documentary films will once again be shown on the big screen. In addition to the various competitions, queer filmmaking will also be highlighted as part of various focus topics. The winner of this year's Golden Apple Award is the Georgian filmmaker Elene Naveriani.
The international competition at the 27th Pink Apple Film Festival will feature films that are particularly noteworthy in terms of content and form. An expert jury will also select a winning film from one of the three competition programs in the short film competition. For the ZKB Audience Awards, the audience will decide which works will be honored for the best feature film and the best documentary.
Film highlights from all over the world
Once again this year, visitors to the festival can look forward to film gems from various countries, including Spain, Brazil, Norway and Sweden.
The festival will open this year with a Swiss premiere: Young Hearts (2024 - Netherlands / Belgium) is the debut film by director Anthony Schatteman. It is about a poignant teenage love between two boys, from which the coming-out develops quite naturally.
The Argentinean feature film Reas (2024 - Argentina / Germany / Switzerland) will close this year's festival. The film tells the story of Yoseli, who finds herself in a group of cis women and trans people in an Argentinian women's prison - a family rather, well-rehearsed and committed, physical and expressive. For "Reas", director Lola Arias worked with former prison inmates who tell their stories in a new and self-determined way. The result is a poignant, musical and incredibly charming film that breaks all conventions.
