Jean-Luc Godard's latest opus "Film Socialisme" (Vega Film, Zurich) will be part of the "New Wave for Ever" programme, in which in "Pierrot le fou", his masterpiece from the sixties will also be screened. Christoph Schaub was already present at last year's festival in Moscow with "Happy New Year" in the international competition of Russia's largest film festival. This year, "Giulias Verschwinden" (T&C Film, Zurich) will be screened in the "Sex. Food. Culture. Glory" section, which comprises five films dealing with bodily pleasures.
The documentary films presented in Moscow - "La forteresse" by Fernand Melgar, "Die Frau mit den 5 Elefanten" by Vadim Jendreyko and the coproduction "Davis Wants to Fly" by David Sievekind - attest to the excellent reputation which Swiss documentary filmmaking enjoys on an international level. The film festival in Moscow, whose jury is presided this year over by French star director Luc Besson, ranks among the 12 A-category international festivals with competition accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers Association (FIAPF).
