Welcome to the Swiss Film Directory

The Swiss Film Directory is a checklist of the motion picture films shot in Switzerland or by Swiss directors or photographers. The database now includes also many video and TV productions. All available information will be collected in this list. We include not only films, that are preserved by public archives or private collectors, but also the works considered today as lost, about which we know through secondary sources.

As possible we will try to analyse on a rewinding or an editing table all the films that still exist. For each copy we make out a record where are indicated: filmographical data, physical and chemical state, synopsis, places and the persons. So the checklist will build a basis for future desirable preservation projects.

The access to the Swiss Film Directory on this web-site is free. However you can made a voluntary donation at the International Committee of the Red Cross to support their efforts worldwide.
