Zurich Film Festival 2025

When the city on the Limmat transforms into a hub of international cinema each autumn, world-class filmmaking meets an equally impressive setting. The Zurich Film Festival is one of Switzerland’s most important cultural events, attracting acclaimed filmmakers, international stars and film lovers from across the globe – perhaps including you.
Look forward to eleven days filled with cinematic highlights: from artistically ambitious arthouse productions to major Oscar contenders. More than 160 films from around the world celebrate their premiere here.
​

LOCATIONSThe beating heart of the festival is Zurich’s Sechseläutenplatz – right in the city centre and directly on the shores of Lake Zurich. This is where you’ll find the Festival Centre and the core cinemas: Corso, Le Paris and Arthouse Piccadilly. All other venues – Kino Frame, Arena Cinemas Sihlcity and the Kongresshaus Zürich – are just a few minutes away.


THE DOLDER GRANDThe Dolder Grand was used as a prominent setting for a Hollywood film, namely David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. What better location in Zurich for the Zurich Film Festival after-parties, than the Canvas Bar & Lounge at the Dolder Grand?
