Why Does Every Theme Park Ride Have the Exact Same Premise?

The Zurich Film Festival handed out its top prizes Saturday, with Slovak director Tereza Nvotová’s Father winning the Golden Eye for best feature film and Zurich-based filmmaker Moris Freiburghaus taking the documentary competition with I Love You, I Leave You.

Father, which is the Slovak entry for the 2026 Oscar race, premiered in Venice. Based on a true story, it stars Milan Ondrík as the titular father in the tale, a decent man who, as a result of a temporary memory lapse and resultant tragedy, leads to his life spiraling out of control. Intramovies is selling the film internationally.

Special mentions in the section went to Alice Douard’s Des preuves d’amour (Love Letters) and Shih-Ching Tsou’s Left-Handed Girl. The latter, co-written and produced by Anora director Sean Baker, is Taiwan’s official Oscar contender. Netflix has the film for most of the world.

I Love You, I Leave You is the first Swiss film to win the festival’s top documentary award. Freiburghaus’ film follows his best friend through a year-long struggle with manic episodes. Special mentions were awarded to Yrsa Roca Fannberg’s The Ground Beneath Our Feet and Namir Abdel Messeeh’s Life After Siham.

The ZFF Critics’ Jury, made up of film writers from Switzerland, Germany and the U.K., honored Damien Hauser’s Memory of Princess Mumbi as the best Swiss film in the program, with a special mention going again to Freiburghaus’ I Love You, I Leave You.

Benjamin Heisenberg’s Der Prank won both the ZFF for Kids Jury Award and the ZFF for Kids Audience Award. Freiburghaus’ documentary also picked up the overall Audience Award, while Abdel Messeeh’s Life After Siham received the Film Prize of the Churches of Zurich.

Additional honors included the Best International Film Music Award for Mikal Grigorowitsch.

The winners of the 21st Zurich festival were announced at the closing gala on Saturday night.
