DAS FRÄULEIN de Andrea Staka
Following her debut at Locarno in 2002 in the Leopards of Tomorrow section, Andrea Staka returns with her first full-length fiction feature. With rare sensitivity, the film describes the complex situation of former Yugoslav citizens who have settled in Zurich, looking at both their everyday life in Switzerland and at the memory of a recent past, often tragic, often denied. In her film, Staka has produced a moving portrait of three generations of women, taking a searching look at people who live far from their homes, either because they were forced to leave them or because they no longer have a homeland.

VITUS de Fredi M. Murer
Vitus is a boy who almost seems to be from another planet: He has hearing like a bat, he plays the piano like a virtuoso and studies encyclopaedias at the age of five. No wonder his parents begin to anticipate a brilliant future for him. They want Vitus to become a pianist. However, the little genius prefers to play in the workshop of his eccentric grandfather (Bruno Ganz). He dreams of flying and of a normal childhood. Finally, with one dramatic leap, Vitus takes control of his own life

LA TRADUCTRICE de Elena Hazanov
Ira, a young Russian, lives in Geneva and has never really got to know her motherland. She is taken on as a translator by the lawyer defending an alleged boss of the Russian mafia. The girl is soon fascinated by this powerful and educated man who seems to read her mind. The boss, if such he is, begins to manipulate her,
dragging her into a world both unknown and dangerous. When the girl realizes she has been manipulated, it may be too late, since danger often lurks where least expected. This is the second full-length feature from Geneva filmmaker Elena Hazanov, who was in the video competition at Locarno in 2001 with OTHELLO, LA TRAGEDIE ET LA FARCE and in the Leopards of Tomorrow sidebar the same year with INT. HOTEL NUIT.

Jean-Stéphane Bron has become a regular guest in Piazza Grande, where he scored a big success in 2003 with MAIS IM BUNDESHUUS - LE GENIE HELVETIQUE, a documentary thriller on the workings of democracy in Switzerland.
