Switzerland
Film Commissions

Small, beautiful and efficient.

Switzerland offers a wide range of landscapes and top locations within very short distances, connected by a uniquely dense network of highways and railways that will get you around efficiently, from urban areas to snowy alpine environments, palm tree-lined lakeshores, medieval castles, contemporary architectures, picturesque cities, exquisite urban surroundings and much more.

Switzerland Film Commissions is a network of four Film Commissions and four Regional Contacts.

This network invites you to connect with our local production service providers and producers. We are reliable, efficient and multilingual production partners, whether you are looking for a line producer providing all the local assistance you need for your shooting project or you are looking for a coproduction partnership. We will help you find the best locations and organize your stay and shoot in the most competent manner.

Switzerland has ratified the European Convention on Cinematographic Coproduction.

This allows for a minimum participation of 20% in bilateral and  a minimum of 10% in multilateral coproductions between the 43 signatory states.

There is an incentive funded by the Swiss Ministry of Culture.

It’s intended for official coproductions with Swiss producers that allocates 20 to 40% of all local eligible expenses.
