New collaboration with the Swiss Youth Film Festival

We are delighted to announce a new collaboration with the Swiss Youth Film Festival: the Story Lab will provide the winner of category E (filmmakers aged 30 and under) with coaching. ‘With this partnership, we want to specifically promote and support young Swiss filmmakers as they navigate the film industry,’ says Tenzin Roder (Head of Migros Culture Percentage Story Lab).

‘Entering the film industry can be challenging and intimidating. That’s why the Swiss Youth Film Festival is particularly committed to offering young filmmakers a platform where they can be seen and heard, network and develop their creative ideas,’ say Jo Bahdo and Valentina Romero (Directors of the Swiss Youth Film Festival). ‘We want to show them that the world of film is there for everyone and belongs to them too. The targeted partnership with the Story Lab contributes to this goal by enabling young talents to exchange ideas with experienced coaches and creating a space for different topics and specific needs.’
