Finally getting dressed again, even if you “just” sit in the cinema with him: for the opening of the Zurich Film Festival (ZFF) yesterday, long evening dresses and tuxedos were pulled out of the closet or a new purchase was made. Moderator Kiki Maeder (39), for example, showed up in a sparkly floral dress: “Who knows when we’ll get that chance again, that’s why I’m particularly enjoying it tonight.”
Because Corona directed that night. Because of the pandemic, the after party had to be avoided, as well as kisses and hugs. “That’s what I miss the most, and sometimes I forget too, I really have to be careful,” says former Miss Switzerland Dominique Rinderknecht (31). Federal Councilor Alain Berset (48) highlighted how important personal exchange is at this time: “Without the surprising encounter, our society becomes deserted.”
After all, there was no need for masks on the green carpet, you had to put them in the theater first. The great Swiss cinema was shown again on the big screen this year, the successful director Bettina Oberli (47) celebrated its premiere with the tragic comedy “Wanda, my miracle”. A film that world star Shania Twain (55) did not want to miss. “I’m here for the whole festival and I want to see as much as possible.” The country singer has lived on Lake Geneva for years and, thanks to the new cooperation with the Montreux Jazz Festival, she can now be seen more often in the town of Limmat.
And something else is different at this festival. For the first time, founder Nadja Schildknecht (47) is no longer in operational management: “Only now can I see what we have built. I am proud to see that we deliver the ZFF well and that the same passion will continue. “
