Opening of the Zurich Film Festival

Alain Berset opens the 16th Zurich Film Festival, in the hall and then at the Corso cinema, “als Gesundheitsminister und als Kulturminister”. The audience present, he says, belongs to the 58% who do not want to wait until next year to return to a cultural event.

The message of the evening: “Das Virus prägt unseren Alltag – aber es dominiert ihn nicht.”
