New World View

What touches filmmakers who live and work beyond our known horizon? The examination of other cultures, of foreign visual languages and narrative techniques typifies the series New World View. Last year, the Zurich Film Festial introduced Russia as its guest country, imparting a new image of a country that, since 1989, has been defined by its social and political upheavals.

It is the goal of this section to make the great spectrum of contemporary cinema known to a greater audience by introducing a new guest country and its young filmmakers each year. Particular media interest is guaranteed.
This year's guest country will be announced in august.
