Data Management
We collect, validate and publish data on Swiss filmmaking and make it available for data analysis.
The “Swiss Films Portal” database includes data on films, series, immersive projects and filmmakers, as well as data on the worldwide distribution of Swiss films in cinemas, at festivals, at film awards and on streaming platforms. Rights holders enter and update data of their films on the Swiss Films Portal. This data is validated by SWISS FILMS, supplemented by other distribution data (festivals, awards, theatrical releases) and published in three languages on the SWISS FILMS website.
The Swiss Films Portal serves as a basis for reports, evaluations and additional studies on Swiss cinema. The film data are made available to the Federal Statistical Office and selected partners, such as the National Film Archive, for evaluation or archiving purposes. The portal includes data on the production and persons involved in more than 8,000 Swiss works.
