Awarding the Golden Eyes
The 3rd Zurich Film Festival will celebrate its Closing Night this coming Saturday at the Kaufleuten-Saal in Zurich. Prominent guests from home and abroad will walk the red carpet to attend the announcing and presentation of the three Golden Eyes to the three winners of the competition categories (Debut Feature Film, New Fiction Film and New Documentary Film). A total of 180 000 CHF (prize money and promotional money) will be awarded. “A Tribute To Guest...” Oliver Stone will receive the Golden Eye for his life’s work, the public will choose the Audience Award and Variety will present Variety’s New Talent Award for the first time. As on the Opening Night, Anke Engelke will guide us through the programme. After the awards are bestowed, it’s off to the Afterparty at the Kaufleuten-Saal, which offers a special highlight: With an exclusive showcase by the newcomer singer Jamie Scott and The Town, we present a star of tomorrow.
Jamie Scott & the Town
A new star in the UK pop sky! The 25-year-old Brit captures the hearts of young and old with his sentimental pop music. His debut single “When Will I See Your Face Again” is repeatedly aired on Swiss radio stations. On October 5, one day before his performance at the Afterparty, he will launch his debut album “Park Bench Theories”, which deals with the theme “relationship”. This musical talent has an excellent chance of becoming one of the greats very soon. We are pleased, together with Universal Music, to have secured this rising star as the Closing Night act.
