Film also needs an image
KSB/SJ, in collaboration with the Zurich Film Foundation, gave three young talents an opportunity: They shot commercials for a campaign promoting the art of film.
Yes to film" was the slogan for the popular and very successful advertisement for the Zurich Film Foundation in 2004. The campaign from the KSB/SJ studio made a significant contribution to the city's referendum being passed. Since then, the Zurich Film Foundation has been promoting professional filmmaking by providing financial support mainly for the development and production of feature films, short films, animated films and documentaries for the cinema.
The Filmstiftung was endowed with a starting capital of 20 million francs when it was founded and has since been able to distribute 8 to 9 million annually. In addition to funds for production, prizes are also awarded for successful films. Last week, these Zurich film prizes were awarded in Winterhur. For example, CHF 20,000 went to Micha Lewinsky for the romantic drama "Der Freund". Sabine Boss was honored with 10,000 francs for "Das Geheimnis von Murk". In the "Succès Cinéma" category, feature films that were able to attract at least 30,000 viewers to the cinema were rewarded. As a kind of consolation for the flop at the box office, "Tell" by Mike Eschmann received 180,000 francs in accordance with the regulations, while "Breakout" by the same director received 250,000 francs for 70,000 viewers.
This year, a competition was also launched among 13 filmmakers to promote young talent on the one hand and to promote the image of the Filmstiftung on the other. The concept was again developed by KSB/SJ and enabled three young talents to produce one commercial each. Oliver Rihs shot "Love", Simon Nagel "Spiel" and Carmen Stadler "Schnee". (pan)
