VIDEOEX 2025: INT.
EXPERIMENTALFILM &
VIDEO FESTIVAL ZÜRICH

VIDEOEX 2025: INT. EXPERIMENTALFILM & VIDEO FESTIVAL ZÜRICH – VIDEOEX enters its 27th round. From May 16 to 25, 2025, Cinema Z3 at Kunstraum Walcheturm (Kanonengasse 20, 8004 Zurich) will once again be dedicated entirely to experimental film and video - the only festival of its kind in Switzerland. In our festival cinema, films are shown that are otherwise never seen on the big screen. Films that touch, beguile, make you think and laugh - the entire spectrum of experimental filmmaking. There will also be introductions by the filmmakers or experts, panel discussions, live performances, workshops, music and much more. This makes new viewing habits possible, outside the restrictions of commercial cinema.
