About Verein Ost Express
An independent, non-profit cultural organization based in Bern, Switzerland, fostering cross-cultural dialogue through cinema and arts since 2020.
Our Roots & Mission
The Ost Express Art and Culture Association (Verein Ost Express) was established by professional artists and cultural curators from diverse backgrounds residing in Switzerland.
Through film festivals, concerts, interdisciplinary art exhibitions, children's art workshops (Kinderatelier), and community dialogues, we curate safe, vibrant spaces for cultural exchange and democratic co-existence.
Core Principles
- Human Rights & Freedom of Expression: Championing artistic liberties and social justice without compromise.
- Multilingual Pluralism: Embracing Switzerland's multilingual fabric and celebrating transnational narratives.
- Democratic Cultural Participation: Accessible ticket prices, community moderation, and open public debate.
