Swiss Films Thrive at Visions du Réel with Bold Stories and Strong Funding
In her remarks about this year’s Swiss film productions and co-productions, Charlotte Ducos, consultant for documentary and marketing strategies at Swiss Films, stressed that it’s “extremely significant” to feature Swiss films throughout the festival lineup and to have the opening film be Swiss as well as a highly anticipated work by an acclaimed director. Ducos also highlighted that 43% of Swiss films are currently co-productions, demonstrating the value of collaborating with neighboring European countries like Italy, Germany, and Austria. Last year, Switzerland was the spotlight country at Cannes’s Marché du Film, which could potentially contribute to further success.
