has revealed more details of its first Zurich Market, an on-site event organized in collaboration with Spain’s San Sebastian Film Festival that will see the Swiss event hosting screenings in local cinema theaters for about 20 new independent titles.
“Due to the ongoing global pandemic, many independent films with artistic merit were unable to hold market premieres and now threaten to remain without theatrical release,” explained Christian Jungen, artistic director of the Zurich Film Festival. He added: “The fact that the initiative is meeting with great interest in both the European and American film industry is of course highly encouraging.”
Given San Sebastian runs Sept. 18 to 26, wrapping on the second day of the Zurich Market, it remains to be seen how this strategic support will play out.
