28th Pink Apple Film
Festival

28th Pink Apple Film Festival – The 28th Pink Apple Film Festival, the most important queer film festival in Switzerland, promises another unforgettable experience in 2025. With over 50 feature-length films and 30 short films, visitors can expect a diverse and exciting program with its finger on the pulse of the times.

This year, the festival will shed light on important social issues, including "Sex Work", in a unique exhibition in collaboration with the Sexworkers Collective Switzerland at the Feminist Strike House. Other highlights include the focus on the Eurovision Song Contest, queer fan culture on the occasion of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 in Switzerland and exciting panels on topics such as non-binary. The Community Day strengthens the dialog between all queer cultures and offers space for exchange.

The Pink Apple Film Festival is undergoing one of its biggest changes in 2025: From now on, the heart of the festival will pulsate in Kreis 5, with the Riffraff cinema, Zollhaus, Bar Gleis and Regenbogenhaus as the new central venues. This innovation allows for a more flexible program and offers the audience a greater choice with up to three film screenings. The traditional Opening and Closing Nights will retain their elegant setting at Arthouse Le Paris in Kreis 1, while the popular Golden Apple program will continue to take place at the Filmpodium. A special highlight in 2025: Swiss producer Ivan Madeo, who has enriched queer cinema in Switzerland for over 15 years, will be honored with the Golden Apple.

The Pink Apple Film Festival would not be complete without its legendary parties! Look forward to an exuberant atmosphere in the Heldenbar, Eurovision ecstasy in Heaven and the incomparable KonLIKI, where we will party together until the early hours of the morning.

The advance sale starts on April 17, 2025.
