Migros Culture Percentage Swiss Documentary Film Competition 2014

Documentary film-making is a core competence of the Swiss film industry. To create a platform for its development and promote discussion of socially relevant issues, Migros Culture Percentage organizes a two-stage documentary film competition with the support of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation SRG SSR. The theme of this year’s edition is space. Swiss writers and directors were invited to create documentaries dealing with an issue that is highly topical in Switzerland. The aim was to identify film ideas that take a nuanced and original approach to the subject.
