SRG: Initiative for Swiss documentaries
In the future, the SRG will provide approximately 80,000 francs per year to support the production of up to seven Swiss documentaries. Funding was awarded for the first time at the end of October: Three film projects received grants in the second half of 2009.
According to a press release issued by SRG on Monday, the selection committee had 32 projects to choose from. It opted for "Die Reise zum sichersten Ort der Erde" by Edgar Hagen (CHF 15,000), "Schneeweisschen & Rosenrot" by Mirjam von Arx (CHF 15,000) and "Vaters Garten" by Peter Liechti (CHF 10,000).
