  • At the press conference it gave at the International Film Festival in Locarno on 6 August 2015, the Federal Office for Culture (OFC) unveiled new measures to be implemented in support of Swiss cinema. These measures are the embodiment of the ‘Culture Message 2016-2020’ adopted by the Federal Parliament on 19 June 2015, and they will enter into force on 1 January 2016. The Culture Message (‘Message on the financing of the Confederation’s cultural activities’) defines the strategic guidelines of the Confederation’s policy on culture and determines the corresponding financial resources. The Culture Message emphasises cultural participation, social cohesion, creation, and innovation. For the next financing period, the aims as far as the cinema industry is concerned are to reinforce the activities of Swiss film-makers and to support international cooperation projects
