Editorial Micha Schiwow, Director Swiss film productions are enjoying an evergreater resonance again at international film festivals: they were present at the latest festivals in Locarno, Montreal, Venice, Amsterdam, Sundance and Berlin and bore witness to a wealth of creative diversity, the emergence of new talent and acknowledgment of established filmmakers. Peter Liechti, for example, was honoured with the European Film Award – Prix Arte for Best Documentary Film 2009 – for “The Sound Of Insects – Record Of A Mummy”. promotes the presence of Swiss film productions at international festivals, supports distribution to cinemas abroad, organises retrospectives and film series all over the world, and provides information on the entire spectrum of Swiss filmmaking – from short to feature films and animation to documentary films. “Moving Movies” is the promotion agency’s new claim and is, by all means, to be taken both literally and figuratively: films evoke emotions among the viewers, films move people. As the promotion agency, moves films beyond our border, seeking to stimulate a dynamic and keep it in motion. And ultimately, the passion for film moves our staff members, whose experience, know-how and contacts facilitate the distribution and promotion of Swiss film productions. is, with its website www.swissfilms.ch and teams in Zurich and Geneva, your contact for Swiss films.

It’s a really straightforward thing to shoot a film in Switzerland! It’s easy to do so because all the conditions have been put in place to optimize audiovisual projects, including both the creative and economic aspects. Switzerland offers a large variety of natural settings and architectural works dating from different epochs. The climate ranges from the polar cold of the everlasting snows in the Alps to the heady Mediterranean temperatures in the southern regions of the country. This diversity is concentrated within a small land mass traversed by a rapid-access road and rail communications networks. Add to this the attractive Euro-Swiss Franc exchange rate, the flexibility of working conditions and the efficiency of the service companies. Switzerland is an open-air studio that offers you numerous economic advantages.

FILMING IN SWITZERLAND

To be eligible for public funding, a film coproduced between Switzerland and another country must be officially recognized as a Swiss film. The following rules apply:

Coproductions with Switzerland: FICTION Dowaha (2009) Tunisia / Switzerland / France

• An independent Swiss film producer must be chosen as a partner, who will then apply for public funds.

Director: Raja Amari Cast: Hafsia Herzi, Soundos Belhassen, Wassilia Dari, Rim El Benna

• Bilateral coproduction agreements exist with Germany, Austria, Canada, France, Italy, Belgium and the French community of Belgium. With the exception of Canada, these agreements cover only films produced for theatrical exhibition. Switzerland is a member of the European convention for coproductions and by this multilateral convention is linked to many more European countries. In most cases, the minimal Swiss participation required varies between 10% and 20%. If no coproduction agreement is applicable – as is the case for the USA, for instance – the minimal Swiss participation is 50%.

Ivul (2009) France / Switzerland Director: Andrew Kötting Cast: Jean-Luc Bideau, Aurelia Petit, Adélaïde Leroux

Ordinary People (2009) France / Switzerland / Serbia Director: Vladimir Perisic Cast: Relja Popovic, Miroslav Stevanovic, Boris Isakovic

• The artistic and technical participation (which includes the hiring of Swiss technicians, assistants and actors) must be proportional to the Swiss financial participation. This condition also applies to postproduction. Since there are no fixed criteria for the evaluation of the percentage, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.

Réfractaire (2009) Luxembourg / Switzerland Director: Nicolas Steil Cast: Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet, Guillaume Gouix, Carlo Brandt, Michel Voïta

• Once theses conditions have been met, the Swiss coproducer can acquire the official agreement from the Swiss Federal Office of Culture. Films officially coproduced with Switzerland have access to the public film funding of the Swiss Federal Office of Culture.

Villa Amalia (2009) France / Switzerland Director: Benoît Jacquot Cast: Isabelle Huppert, JeanHugues Anglade, Jean-Pierre Gos, Peter Arens

DOCUMENTARY

• Selective public funding sees an independent expert committee choose and propose film projects for production subsidies. The maximum subsidy per film is 1,5 million Swiss Francs and cannot exceed 50% of the production costs (Swiss part).

Bassidji (2009) France / Switzerland Director: Mehran Tamadon

• Succès cinéma is a funding program based on a film’s success. For each ticket bought in a Swiss cinema, the Swiss screenwriter, director, producer, distributor and cinema owner gets a bonus which must be reinvested in their next film project.

Fix Me (2009) Palestine / France / Switzerland Director: Raed Andoni

• Other funding programs include the annual competition for the Swiss Film Prize Quartz, as well as subsidies for the release of a film or for its participation in an international film festival.

David Wants To Fly (2010) Germany / Switzerland / Austria Director: David Sieveking

By the end of 2009, 52 cinemas were equiped to screen 3D films (compared with 6 at the end of 2008). 27 of these 3D theaters were in Key-Cities and 25 in smaller and medium-sized towns.

Last year’s main focus was the challenging filming of Stefan Haupt's sophisticated new feature “How About Love” on location in Thailand and Switzerland, as well as the production of the TV-movie “Verstrickt und zugenäht” by Walter Weber. In “How About Love” a Swiss doctor risks everything during a medical mission at the border of Thailand and Burma: His family, his reputation and even his professional future. “Verstrickt und zugenäht” tells in a refreshing manner the story of a group of women fighting for their jobs and saving their sock-factory from bankruptcy in rural Switzerland. Both films perfectly fit the company’s main goal of entertaining the audience with thrilling and unique stories.

Since it’s founding in 1988, Thelma Film AG has produced and coproduced more than 30 feature-length fiction films and documentaries, most of them in coproduction with European partners.

Founded in the early 70’s, the CAC-VOLTAIRE is a non-profit cultural association, partly subsidized by the State of Geneva (Department of Public Instruction), and the city of Geneva (Department of Cultural Affairs). Its mission consists of the defense and the promotion of a cinema of quality, which could be from yesterday, today or tomorrow. Under the leadership of Rui Nogueira and Nicoletta Zalaffi’s couple, which began in 1977, the CACVOLTAIRE developped considerably its action. For this, we have two show rooms: Michel Simon (200 seats) and Henri Langlois (70 seats). On the other hand, since 1995, CAC-VOLTAIRE developped a policy of purchasing rights and reediting brand new prints of great classical movies of Cinema d’Histoire. We show them in our theaters before dealing them all around Switzerland. Henceforth, we have a catalogue rich of more than 100 titles, which can be obtained on request.

Cineworx is a distributor founded in 2003, based in Basel. The main focuses of this young and dynamic distribution company are international arthouse productions and european children films.

Biel/Bienne (1 hour drive from Geneva, Basel and Zürich), the largest bilingual city of Switzerland, makes a bridge between the Swiss French and the Swiss German cultures using the cinema as a universal language. The French Film Festival of Helvetia (FFFH) dedicates its programming to French films winking at Swiss cinema too. For five days, about 30 films, many of which are international previews, are unveiled in original version subtitled in German (40% of the audience speaks German). Some of them are not released in Switzerland (Section Découverte). The Festival starts with the Children’s Day, a special day devoted to fun and pleasure for our youngest spectators. Then, the event takes the symbolism of the three-colored French flag. Throughout its five-year history , more than 120 professionals of the film industry have converged in Biel/Bienne to present more than 140 feature films and 30 short films. Everyday, the festival gives the spectators the chance to attend directly after the screening a special moment of exchange and encounter with professionals, directors and actors. One of the goals of these open discussions (which are simultaneously translated into German) is to bring the Swiss German and Swiss French cultures together. Moreover professionals really enjoy discussing with a bilingual audience. Energy needs of the Festival are entirely covered by renewable energies.

The inspiration and impetus behind the International Film Festival and Forum on Human Rights (FIFDH) came from Human Rights defenders, filmmakers, representatives from the media and the University of Geneva. The FIFDH coincides with the UN Human Rights Council and is a platform for all public and private actors defending human dignity. The festival is an International Forum on Human Rights that informs and denounces violations wherever they take place. Situated in the heart of Geneva, the International Capital for Human Rights, the festival also serves as a go-between for all human rights activists. For one week, it offers debates, original film screenings and solidarity initiatives. With its concept “a film, a subject, a debate�, the aim of the FIFDH is to denounce attacks on human dignity and to raise public awareness through films and debates in the presence of filmmakers, defenders of human rights and recognized specialists.

April 15 – 21, 2010 / May 5 – 11, 2011

It is comforting to feel the quietness emanated again by the films selected for this 16th edition of Visions du Réel. Not that they are slow, oh no, some of them are very fast-moving in the way they tell stories! They convey a different experience which documentary filmmakers share with their spectators when they - filmmakers - take time to cast their gaze and focus their attention on the faces, landscapes, voices and din of the world. This film genre is comforting when the real world takes shape thus in its exciting complexity. It is exhilarating to share with the audiences these visions that reflect the extraordinary diversity of genres, scripts and viewpoints. Nearly 2,000 films have been viewed by the members of the Working Group, which is made up of specialists hired to spot the most striking films, to write the texts of the Catalogue and to moderate debates and meetings. At a time when the conditions under which films made by independent directors can assert their identity are deteriorating in terms of production and distribution, the 2010 Programme is an exemplary illustration of fierce and stubborn resistance to run-of-the-mill audiovisual fare. It is impressive for us to have taken the decision to step down from the Management of Visions du Réel this year when we can share in the extraordinary success that we feel entitled to claim. At the same time we know we owe that success to the filmmakers and producers and film professionals and public- and privatesector financial partners and film-goers and partners of all cultures, along with other accomplices, who have placed their trust in us for 16 years. To them we say, quite simply and with true gratitude, thank you. It is reassuring that the Nyon International Film Festival is this year opening a new film theatre for its viewers, since the future is theirs. Tomorrow a new director will be able to give these Visions the momentum they need to continue this adventure: to usher in the privileged era of a Visions du Réel entirely committed to depicting the radiant beauty and convulsive unsightliness of a world in search of authentic narratives.
