Impact Days – Swiss Focus 2026
Swiss Focus is a space for connection and dialogue between Swiss impact stakeholders of all language regions, our international Impact Days guests and Swiss filmmakers.
In this space, we annually showcase four Swiss film projects open to impact collaborations both on a national and an international level. Members of the Swiss industry with an Industry Accreditation or an Impact Days Daily Pass are welcome to join us – watch this space for information on how to attend in March, and mingle with our audience of impact practitioners, NGO representatives and foundations!
2026 selected films
A Search for Love
by Carlotta Piccinini (Italy)
A dual journey across continents, generations, and personal wounds unfolds through the intertwined paths of Sereti and Michela, revealing different facets of healing, resistance, and love.
One Step Closer
by Mehran Tamadon (Iran)
In a deindustrialized region of Rhône-Alpes, one year after a young man’s murder and its exploitation by the far right, the filmmaker tries to bring together divided communities. The project gradually evolves from a simple investigation to a collective experience, built step by step with the protagonists themselves.
To the Moon and Back
by Elisa Gomez Alvarey (Germany)
How do we bridge the gap between Earth and the Moon, between our environmental and equity issues and the dynamics of contemporary space conquest?

A CHF 2,500 prize awarded to one of the four projects pitched at Swiss Focus.
