We are very proud of our lineup of films. Only in a beautiful surrounding, they’ll reach their full potential. That’s why we partnered up with the best and most historical hotels that Lucerne has to offer. Not only for their unique rooms, which are a step up from the usual movie theaters, but also their brilliant hosting. They’ll cater to every wish and desire you have.
There will be five theaters/screening halls for this year’s official movie selections. A selection of the best films that did not make the competition will be shown in two extra halls, as our LiFF Showcase. These particular films are free and accessible to everyone.
