A range of programmes will showcase Swiss audiovisual creation in the fields of film and innovation, the Swiss Films promotion agency stated in a press release on Tuesday. The focus will be on Switzerland as a co-production country and its exchanges with representatives of the global film industry.
The quality of Swiss co-productions and the efforts made to promote them internationally have enabled a number of Swiss films to escape the confines of Switzerland and reach millions of viewers around the world.
These include Ma vie de courgette (My life as a courgette), the animated feature by Valais-born Claude Barras, which won a César and was nominated for an Oscar; L’enfant d’en haut (Sister) by French-speaking director Ursula Meier, which won a Silver Bear at the Berlinale; and Heidi, starring Bruno Ganz, which was sold in over 50 countries.
The 77th edition of the market will be held from May 14-22. With over 14,000 participants, it is considered the largest international gathering of film professionals.
