The Story Behind QFS

Queer Film Swiss is an independent, non-profit platform created and run by Ashleigh.

After years working in film festivals and distribution in Switzerland, I kept noticing the same gap: there was no dedicated space bringing together queer film screenings, festivals, and events across the country.

So I built one.

Queer Film Swiss is run voluntarily alongside my professional work in film marketing. It exists to give queer cinema greater visibility in Switzerland and to connect films, festivals, cinemas, and audiences through discovery, community, and cultural exchange.

From distributors and cinemas to LGBTQIA+ organisations and indie film enthusiasts, this platform is built for everyone passionate about queer cinema.

If this project has brought you closer to a film, an event, or a community, consider supporting it.
