The festival is gearing up for a digital 34th edition which will be opened by Bettina Oberli’s Swiss title My Wonderful Wanda. Under the slogan #imKINOdaCASA, the 34th Bolzano Film Festival Bozen (13 - 18 April) is preparing itself to unspool online on account of the pandemic. The opening slot is entrusted to Bettina Oberli’s Swiss title My Wonderful Wanda, a dramedy presented in a world premiere at Tribeca 2020 and revolving around a Polish woman who upsets the balance of a well-to-do family. Six films will battle it out for the Autonomous Province of Bolzano Award, presided over by a jury composed of long-term Berlinale consultant Claudia Landsberger, German screenwriter and director Sonja Heiss and Italian independent filmmaker Corrado Ravazzini. Making its way over from Switzerland is Beyto by Zurich director Gitta Gsell, which won the Audience Award at the Solothurn Film Festival and tells the tale of a...
Berlin-based Salzgeber has picked up international rights to Gitta Gsell’s award-winning Swiss drama “Beyto,” about a young man who is forced into an arranged marriage after coming out to his Turkish family.
Produced by Bern’s Lomotion in co-production with Peter Zwierko’s Sulaco Film in Basel, “Beyto” premiered last year at the Zurich Film Festival and went on to win the audience award at Switzerland’s Solothurn Film Festival in January.
Burak Ates plays Beyto, a talented young swimmer with a bright future ahead of him who falls in love with his coach Mike (Dimitri Stapfer).

Back in Switzerland, Beyto finds himself in a wrenching love triangle.
Salzgeber just added the film to its international slate after having previously...

Moscow -- The 26th edition of the Warsaw International Film Festival, which kicks off on Oct. 8, is going to show how the organizers are dealing with the fest's increased international status.
"Last year, the Warsaw International Film Festival became part of the Fiapf list of "international competitive non-specialized festivals", which brought about serious consequences," Stefan Laudyn, the fest's director, told The Hollywood Reporter. "This year, we received a record number of submissions and a couple of dozen collaboration offers from various companies."
According to Laudyn, the festival's motto remains unchanged: "Films about the people for the people." More than 130 films, divided into several sections, such as international competition, Free Spirit competition, documentary and short competitions, are to be screened at this year's event.
Among the highlights of this year's program are movies of different genres, from historical dramas, like "The Edge" by Russian director Alexei Uchitel or the Czech movie...
