Swiss Immersion
A new initiative by SWISS FILMS for immersive projects
09.11.2022
Through its Swiss Immersion Festival Support, SWISS FILMS assists Swiss producers of immersive projects with promotional and travel expenses and contributes to installation costs, thus enabling producers and creators to increase their visibility and enhance their opportunities on the global market.
The new support scheme provides support for the participation at 24 film festivals worldwide, which represent some of the most prestigious events for the presentation and exhibition of immersive projects with artistic values. Due to the fast-moving nature of the immersive environment and market, the Swiss Immersion Festival Support and its festival list may be subject to change to correspond to the dynamic evolution of the industry.
“We are very happy to present one of the first outcomes of our SWISS FILMS LAB. For us as an organization it is important to support new forms of audiovisual storytelling. Therefore, we react with our new program Swiss immersion to the expanding immersive film industry in Switzerland, with the aim to grow its global visibility through the most impactful film festival sections dedicated to this scene.” says SWISS FILMS director Nicola Ruffo
