World Premier at Zurich Film Festival in the International Competition


The world premier has taken place. I was really curious about the first reactions of a public audience here at the festival. And it was amazing. The emotions in the cinema were overwhelming. People were laughing a lot and after the screening they told me that they were crying in some scenes as well. I'm glad the film is so well received. The Q&A after the screening showed the great interest of the audience in the film. There were also people from the industry who loved the film a lot.

Today is the next screening and I look forward to it. I'm very glad that I'm accompanied by Sinan, the team members Manuel Kinzer (DoP), Liesa Schober (assistant) and Nadja Glanze (subtitles) on the festival.
As you probably read in the news the festival is overshadowed by the arrest of Roman Polanski who we were supposed to see in a masterclass. It is the topic number one on the festival.

Additional screenings:
