LOOK&ROLL On the road
Latest

Even after the festival, look&roll remains present. With look&roll on the road, we bring selected short films from the festival program to other cities in Switzerland, abroad, remote regions and smaller institutions. This gives people access to our programs who would otherwise hardly have the opportunity to visit the festival locally.

We are out and about in schools, disability organizations, bookstores and many other institutions. Our events not only create special cinema experiences, but also encourage dialogue.

Numerous event partners and institutions use look&roll on the road to create accessible events—and to offer film contributions that respectfully and authentically depicts life with disabilities. In this way, the project actively contributes to bringing the topics of inclusion, disabilities, chronic diseases and neurodivergence into society long term.

There are currently no events planned.
