    Several films by ZHdK alumni are represented at this year's Zurich Film Festival ZFF. In addition, students from the Cast/Audiovisual Media department are creating the official video content around the ZFF.

    ZHdK alumnus Piet Baumgartner celebrates the world premiere of his film "THE DRIVEN ONES". In the long-term documentary, five students of the elite Master's program "Strategy and International Management" at the University of St. Gallen are accompanied over seven years. Refreshingly honest, open and sensitively narrated, the documentary not only provides a deep insight into their everyday lives, but also turns out to be a highly exciting generational and character study.

    Also shown as a world premiere is the film "LAS TORERAS" by director alumna Jackie Brutsche. With her documentary film she tries to uncover the dark secrets of her family past and to answer the unanswered questions about her mother. For this, she conducted meticulous and emotional interviews with her family members in Zurich and Spain.

    Alumnus Jan Erick Mack directed the series "Davos". Alumnus Carlo Beer graduated with a bachelor's degree from ZHdK in 2020 and is in the ZFF Academy Talents 2023, a program for young talent in the film industry.

    The 3rd and 5th semesters of "Cast / Audiovisual Media" are also realizing the official video content around the ZFF this year. Under the hashtag #ZFFDaily they publish them on the social channels of the festival. Furthermore, the Major "Composition for Film, Theater and Media" organizes in cooperation with the ZFF the series SoundTrack Zurich @ZHdK as well as an IMMSANE meeting of university lecturers from the field of media music. The goal is to promote collaborations in research and pedagogical projects and to strengthen connections to the music industry.
