Our upcoming festival edition will take place from 23. - 29. August 2021. 

In addition to the annual prize money, the winners of the 13th Gässli Film Festival will receive a "Basil". The trophy with the motif of our local Basilisk dragon will be presented to this year's winners as a thank-you and appreciation for their craft.
