Kloster
Salomé Käsemodel / 2026 / CHE / 16′
Behind the walls of a convent on the brink of collapse, Sister Scholastika is doing everything in her power to oppose plans to turn her little paradise into a luxury yoga retreat.
L’instinct paternel
Natalia Ducrey & Raphaël Rivière / 2026 / CHE / 18’
Gabriel wants to treat his daughter to a memorable day out at the treetop adventure park. But he hasn’t reckoned with the unexpected building work, the perfect dads who taunt him, and his fear of ticks.
Rum Punch
Balazs Gyenes / 2026 / CHE / 17′
A flat share like any other, with its disagreements, its botched parties and a bloke philosophising in the bath. At least when things go pear-shaped, it adds a bit of punch! (Get it?)
Un Petit Doigt pour l’Homme
Gaëtan Brügger / 2026 / CHE / 2’
Setting off on an adventure, scaling mountain peaks, discovering new landscapes and coming within a hair’s breadth of ecstasy.
Mammo
Salomé Crouzet & Marion Reymond / 2026 / CHE / 3’
Life as a breast is no walk in the park: between two squeezes, memories of a life full of twists and turns come flooding back.
Vers la forêt
Antonin Niclass / 2026 / CHE / 10’
Drawn to a computer screen, three little monkeys see it as a way out of the stop-motion studio where they were created.

Going to the gym to overcome her fear of illness, meeting a trio of tireless pensioners there, and working together to find ways to live better.
