MIGROS CULTURE PERCENTAGE<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Promotion of Swiss film<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Tradition spanning almost 80 years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Migros has a long tradition of supporting films. As early as 1943, Migros founder Gottlieb Duttweiler was on the board of Praesens Film AG so that he could promote “ethical, high-quality Swiss film productions”. One production from this time, “Marie-Louise” by Leopold Lindtberg, even won an Oscar in 1946.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1965, the Migros Culture Percentage has consistently promoted Swiss filmmaking with innovative, inspiring and unbureaucratic support measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post-production<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Funding the last mile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more than twenty years, the Migros Culture Percentage has been a partner for the post-production of professionally made Swiss films. By covering the residual financing, this has enabled the best possible end result. Films receiving support therefore have a better chance of competing on the national and international film market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promotion of ideas<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

From the first idea to the script<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A good script is the basis for any good film. From 2010 to 2020, the Migros Culture Percentage supported ideas for cinematographic works with grants and a mentoring programme. The support was deliberately started at an early stage to enable script writers to accomplish this key creative phase under professional conditions. The success behind the promotion of ideas lays the foundation for the Story Lab of the Migros Culture Percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migros Culture Percentage Swiss documentary film competition<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ten years of supporting Swiss documentary film<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From 2010 to 2020, the Migros Culture Percentage organised the Migros Culture Percentage Swiss documentary film competition in cooperation with SRG SSR. The two-stage competition saw ten documentary films covering topics relevant to society brought to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
