Don't miss Switzerlanders

“Switzerlanders” is probably the most extraordinary film experiment this country has ever seen. A cinematic time capsule with thousands of hours of submitted material from all regions of Switzerland giving unknown insights about the life of Swiss people in the politically and socially turbulent summer of 2019.

A film project based on the idea of Ridley Scott, ("Alien", "Blade Runner", "Thelma & Louise" and "Gladiator"), who launched the “Life in a Day” project in 2010, for which more than 80,000 videos from 192 nations and a total of about 4500 hours of material were submitted. A film that tells the story of one day in this world in 95 minutes. It was translated into 20 languages and the concept was later adapted in various countries, including Switzerland.


The Swiss cult director Michael Steiner's new film was created from 1400 hours of material that the Swiss sent in. In one of the strongest moments of «Switzerlanders», a youngster talks about his Asperger syndrome.

The Corona crisis intervened with the planned cinema premiere therefore "Switzerlanders" is now shown on various streaming platforms (Apple TV, Teleclub, Sky, UPC and Myfilm). It is not to be missed.
