November 12 at 8:45pm
Filmpodium · Zürich
Against the rugged expanse of the Norwegian West Coast, a free-spirited weaver's independent life draws village suspicion in Anja Breien's 1981 feature. Filmpodium screens this restored 93-minute psychological drama in digital cinema package format with Norwegian dialogue and English subtitles.
November 13 at 8:45pm
Kino Filmpodium · Zürich

Kino Filmpodium · Zürich
Four city friends escape to the forests of Jharkhand and discover their baggage came along. Satyajit Ray's wry, Cassavetes-esque chamber piece screens in a 4K restoration backed by Wes Anderson.
November 14 at 8:45pm (This weekend)
Kino Filmpodium · Zürich
Isabelle Huppert is quietly devastating in Chabrol's true-crime drama: a working-class mother in Vichy France builds an underground abortion business, and her husband's betrayal seals her fate. Gripping, unsentimental, and based on one of the last women executed in France.
November 12 at 8pm +3
Theater Rigiblick · Zürich • CHF64

November 12 at 7pm +9
Schauspielhaus Zürich · Zürich
A cyclone tears Dorothy from Kansas into a dazzling land of papier-mâché forests where Judy Garland's ghost hovers over the yellow brick road. Director Bastian Kraft stages this musical-infused journey at Schauspielhaus Zürich, blending Technicolor nostalgia with Hollywood trauma.
November 12 at 8:30pm
Moods · Zürich • CHF 45.–
Grammy Award-winning keyboardist Bobby Sparks II brings his signature vintage analog sound and deep-pocket funk to Moods, leading a quartet featuring Keith Anderson, Justin McKinney, and Adrian Roberts in Zürich.
November 12 at 8:30pm
Bogen F · Zürich
David Eugene Edwards howls like a backwoods preacher possessed: the 16 Horsepower and Wovenhand frontman channels punk fury and gospel ecstasy into sparse, doom-laden sermons. Somewhere between Jim Morrison and Nick Cave.
November 13 at 7:30pm
Johanneskirche Zürich · Zürich
Illuminated projections wash across the interior walls of Johanneskirche Zürich during a performance of Die Winterreise, pairing the classical song cycle with a contemporary light installation.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
