Swiss Film Barry & Me. The Swiss Weeks 2026 Closing Event

Official Closing Event of the Swiss Weeks 2026

The Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore warmly invites you to the closing event of the Swiss Weeks 2026 with a perfect evening for your family.

Join us for a journey through the Alps with our screening of the movie My Friend Barry at the iconic Capitol Theatre. Set in the late 18th century, the film follows Georg, a young orphan who remains at the legendary Great St. Bernard Hospice while his brother, Alfons, departs to seek a better life on the other side of the Alps. Inspired by real events, this story of loyalty and friendship between a boy and his dog explores the spirit of resilience in Switzerland and honours the legacy of the famous St. Bernard rescue dogs.

Each ticket includes a popcorn and soft drink, while additional food and beverages provided by the Capitol Theatre will be available for purchase.

We look forward to closing the Swiss Weeks 2026 with you and your loved ones!
