“Se podes olhar, vê, se podes ver, repara” - José Saramago.
O cinema é a arte de contar uma história através do olhar do cineasta, e ele o responsável por selecionar as histórias que serão contadas, e como elas serão contadas, além disso ele é responsável pela forma que elas serão vistas pelo público. É o olhar que diz o que é interessante ou não, é o olhar que diz quais histórias serão imortalizadas artisticamente pelo cinema. E este festival é para valorizar o olhar dos cineastas mundo afora, para celebrar e consagrar as suas originalidades, identidades e riquezas cinematográficas, as finalidades deste festival são de exibir e premiar tais características tão únicas além de compartilhar e socializar tais experiências e formas de se fazer cinema de forma gratuita para os espectadores.
A temática do festival é livre, pois acreditamos que o cinema é uma ferramenta muito rica e com um potencial fantástico para encantar e surpreender as pessoas, por tanto, limitar um festival que exalta o olhar cinematográfico seria o mesmo que limitar o potencial criativo desta incrível ferramenta humana que é o cinema.
O festival foi idealizado para ser on-line, para que assim possa atingir pessoas do mundo todo. Que ao agregar uma mostra internacional, tais cineastas possam presenciar o festival sem precisar se deslocar a outro país e ainda compartilhar a sua exibição com amigos, familiares e fãs.

Por isso que o Olhar Film Festival é um festival aberto ao público e visa levar o cinema independente ao maior número de pessoas possíveis mundo afora.

The Arab Film Festival Zurich is organized every two years by the association IAFFZ . The next festival will take place from 02.04.2025 until 06.04.2025.
The focus is on films by Arab filmmakers that could not find their way to “commercial” cinema. The program includes short and full-length feature, documentary, animation and experimental films exploring social, cultural and political issues. Discussions with the invited filmmakers also offer the audience the opportunity to discuss films and topics further.
Please note that we can only accept movies from or about the Arab world. We define the Arab world in cultural terms. Unfortunately, we cannot accept movies from or about Iran or Turkey, except if they explicitly deal with issues related to the Arab world as defined above.
The Arab Film Festival Zurich is a place of encounters and dialogue between cultures. Through its internationally understandable language, film serves as a means of communication and understanding, and so the festival should make a contribution to a differentiated analysis of the Arab cultural area beyond media coverage.
The first edition of the festival in 2012 was well received by the audience and the media. Every two years, the Arab Film Festival Zurich presents a representative selection of outstanding current international films from various Arab countries.
The festival team consists of honorary board members of the association IAFFZ and the volunteers who share a great interest in film and in the Arab culture. The program is compiled by Aida Schläpfer Al-Hassani (filmmaker, president of the association IAFFZ and co-director of AFFZ) and Michel Bodmer (co-director of AFFZ).
