Michaela Müller’s “Miramare” will be shown in the international competition for student films, thereby marking its 50th screening at a film festival. The short film production in the running for the Grand Prix at the festival in the capital of Belgium is the coproduction “Der kleinere Raum” by directors Nina Wehrle and Cristobal Leon Dooner.

Three other Swiss films, each of which uses a different animation technique, are "Au bout du rouleau" by Duos David Baumann and Marc Ferrario, "Frère Benoît et les grandes orgues" by Michel Dufourd and "Heimatland" by Loretta Arnold, Andrea Schneider, Marius Portmann and Fabio Friedli (Lucerne School of Art and Design). All three films will be screened in the international competition called "Animated Night." The winner of this section receives the Audience Prize.
