She’s a Mon­ster
by Kriti Kapoor & Kater­ina Papa­nastasatou (Alum­nae SE#12)

One of the festival’s most anti­cip­ated events — the Pitch Cir­cus — offers cre­at­ors the chance to present their pro­jects live and com­pete for the 10,000 CHF prize for the best pitch. Our alumni will once again bring their cre­at­ive vis­ion, cour­age, and storytelling bril­liance to the stage.

From fest­iv­al stages to inter­na­tion­al screens, our alumni con­tin­ue to push cre­at­ive bound­ar­ies and redefine storytelling. Seri­en Fest­iv­al Basel is anoth­er proud moment — where stor­ies born in our classrooms shine bright on the big stage.
