A unique collaboration: The Valais Film Commission and the Ticino Film Commission join forces for “Mein Freund Barry”.

For the first time, the Valais Film Commission and the Ticino Film Commission are joining forces on a family film project, underlining the crucial role of regional commissions in promoting Switzerland as a land of cinema.

This first collaboration highlights the importance of working together to maximize and optimize opportunities. The Valais, with its emblematic Alpine landscapes, and the Ticino, known for its Mediterranean charm, offer an ideal complementarity. Together, they demonstrate that the diversity of Swiss settings can meet the needs of the most ambitious productions.

By supporting this production, the two commissions are demonstrating that they are not only promoting their respective regions, but are also actively working to make Switzerland an unmissable player on the global film scene, and thus strengthen its international influence.
