Canada – Switzerland coproduction agreement renewed.
Great news for the Swiss film industry: the President of the Confederation Alain Berset has signed a new coproduction agreement between Canada and Switzerland. This treaty replaces the current one and aims to facilitate financing and will be more advantageous for the audiovisual industries of both countries. Coproduced films will also benefit from improved broadcasting arrangements, a significant advantage for film distribution. And that’s not all: the agreement also considers the financing of new co-production models, such as series.
“This new coproduction agreement confirms the outstanding cooperation between Canada and Switzerland. It also allows us to strengthen the existing cultural and linguistic ties between our two countries.”
Alain Berset, president of the Swiss Confederation
