Call for Entries for the Swiss Commissioned and Advertising Film AwardThe race is open again: Until August 28, advertising agencies and Swiss film productions can submit their commissioned films, TV commercials or multimedia productions for the Swiss Commissioned and Commercial Film Award Edi.Honor to whom honor is due. What succeeds in the market should also be in the spotlight of public recognition - says the Swiss Film and Video Producers Association about the Edi motto. The Swiss Commissioned and Commercial Film Award is presented once a year by the Federal Department of Home Affairs (FDHA) in recognition of the high cinematic quality of the work submitted. Commissioned productions and presentations in which the audiovisual design forms an essential component and which are considered Swiss productions within the meaning of the Ordinance to the Federal Film Act are eligible.
Productions from the last twelve months are eligible. The jury has been determined, but has yet to be confirmed by the FDHA and will only be announced by name after the summer break. Andreas Panzeri
