As the fourth largest city in Switzerland, Lausanne stands out for its role as an Olympic city, a sustainable city, and a place of learning and culture. The setting of Lausanne is extremely picturesque: the town is built on three hills, surrounded by vineyard-covered slopes, with Lake Geneva at its feet.

Festival Zoomz 

Zoomz is committed to a diverse children's and youth culture, especially in Central Switzerland. We want to inspire young audiences for film and cinema and encourage them to engage creatively with current media formats. We offer schools a unique platform for film and media education. Didactic material is available for embedding the films in class. Discussions with filmmakers will take place after the moderated screenings. Practical workshops round off the cinema experience and enable the students to become creative themselves.
