From the end of April, Swiss television will once again have a moderated film magazine. In the Box Office program, presenter Monika Schärer will present cinema news once a week.
The program is intended to provide an overview of the latest cinema releases and also presents a "film of the week". DVD releases and computer games related to the world of film are also an integral part of the program.
Once a month, Schärer also conducts a background discussion with filmmakers and stars. SF broadcasts a special program on the occasion of the most important national and international film festivals: "Box Office Extra" editions are planned from Solothurn, Berlin, Cannes, Locarno, Venice and the Zurich Film Festival.
Box Office sees itself in particular as a Swiss film magazine, writes SF in a press release on Wednesday. Swiss films should therefore be given a high priority. The program not only reports on the release of national productions, but also takes a look behind the scenes of selected Swiss film projects while they are still being shot.
"Box Office is the opinion-forming Swiss film magazine that puts entertainment and cinematic art on an equal footing and shows that the world of film does not end at the cinema", Regula Bochsler, Editorial Director of Kultur Aktuell, is quoted as saying in the press release. In addition to Schärer, who will continue to present the science magazine Einstein, the editorial team includes Anita Egger, producer Achim Podak and Enno Reins.
A spin-off of the program is being created on the Internet: the program will be available as a stream and podcast at Boxoffice.sf.tv after the broadcast. Monika Schärer also runs a blog in which she describes her personal view of the world of film and puts it up for discussion.
The program will be broadcast on Wednesdays following Kulturplatz. It will flicker across the screen for the first time on April 29 at 11:35 pm.
