We are drawn to stories that spark reflection and curiosity. For nearly twenty years, we have been telling stories with strong directorial voices and engaging narratives, leading us all the way to the Oscars®.
We are known for being fearless in our choice of topics and for filming in every corner of the world. We have held our breath when our protagonists face their adverse fate; and persisted when our resolve was tested. Because there are stories that deserve to be told.
Who should you contact at Filmgerberei for a daring project?
How do you receive Swiss funding?
To be eligible for national and regional funding we need substantial Swiss participation, including Swiss talent in key crew and department head positions. Ideally, the topic is related to Switzerland, though this isn't required when Swiss authors or directors are involved.
How experienced is Filmgerberei in international co-productions?
Filmgerberei is one of Switzerland’s leading film production companies for international documentary (co-)productions. Through productions like Solothurn-winner IMMORTALS, Oscar-qualified OUR CHILD, Oscar-nominated ALA KACHUU or ROGER FEDERER – THE REUNION, we know the pulse of the international market. Over the years, we have built a strong international network, continually broadened through our team member Flavio Gerber, who is member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. We love driving inspiring projects through partnerships, exploring new stories that reach a global audience.
