Bern film festival goes global

The short film festival shnit had humble beginnings – from a local film club in the Swiss capital Bern 13 years ago. Today it runs simultaneously in eight cities on five continents, bringing together more than 30,000 filmmakers and large audiences. The winning entries will receive their Flaming Faun statuettes in a ceremony in New York on October 18. (Michele Andina, swissinfo.ch)
