Swiss director Mauro Mueller’s 111 – Echoes from Halifax will have its international premiere at the Zurich Film Festival in late September, bringing the Swissair SR111 disaster back into view through a film set around the aftermath and consequences of the crash. The festival runs from 24 September to 4 October 2026 in Zürich, placing the screening within its main autumn programme.
The project centres on one of Swiss aviation’s most traumatic accidents, the loss of Swissair flight SR111, and shifts the focus to the human and wider public response that followed. No further production details have been disclosed in the available material, including cast, distributor, runtime or the exact screening date.
The film’s festival debut is likely to attract attention from both aviation and Swiss public-interest audiences because the SR111 disaster remains a defining event in the country’s aviation history. The available report identifies the premiere as an international one, but does not indicate whether it will be followed by a wider release schedule.
