Buenzli 19

We had more buzzing times for the demoscene here in Switzerland - but «Buenzli» is back for the 19th time, still in business, still alive! On the 20/21/22 August 2010 we bring you the ultimate demoscene shock in Winterthur. In our mission to revive the Swiss demoscene, we’ll dig out all the silent talents, sunken flagships and reclusive sceners in order to get them together with vital demoscene activists. Join in for another event in the series of the most familiar and cosy demoscene parties around.

What is it anyway?

«Buenzli» is an annual event (a so called demoparty), taking place at three days during Summer in Winterthur/Switzerland. It is organized by «Echtzeit - Digitale Kultur», a Swiss association dedicated to the demoscene. In various contests and competitions like animation, demos, realtime-movies, music, graphics, retro or game-developement, the visitors who are coming from all over Europe, compete against each other. The winners are given a whole lot of attractive prizes. Beside these contests, there’s a surrounding event program with bands, visuals and entertainment. For Switzerland, «Buenzli» is the largest event of its kind and attracts around 100 to 150 visitors every year. The audience consist of a wide range of different kind of persons - everybody that feels the urge to do more than office work and gaming with his computer is welcome!
