to Gabriel Zurbriggen, who since the closure of 4th SFFF has started to dedicate himself again to his other projects, mainly his acting. Warm thanks for 4 years, in which together with co-founder Stefan Fichtner he brought the festival to where it is now. Thanks to his untirable graas root work SFFF has gained strong support in Saas-Fee and can look towards the future with confidence.

Oscar-Academy Neuzugang Ursula Meier
01.07.16
3. SFFF-Jurymitglied Ursula Meier entscheidet künftig mit, an wen die Oscars gehen. Nachdem ihre beiden Spielfilme HOME (mit Isabelle Huppert und Olivier Gourmet in den Hauptrollen) und L’ENFANT D’EN HAUT (mit Léa Seydoux und Kacey Mottet Klein) als Schweizer Beitrag für den Auslandsoscar eingereicht worden waren,
erhielt die schweizerisch-französische Regisseurin diese Woche eine Einladung in die Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Die jüngste Aufnahme von Neumitgliedern in die Akademie war eine Reaktion auf die Kritik an der mangelnden Vielfalt in ihren Reihen.
Unsere herzliche Gratulation an Ursula Meier!
