The association „Swiss Fiction Movement“ was initiated in 2014 by a group of filmmakers in Switzerland who started to advocate for better funding conditions of unconventionally produced feature films in Switzerland, with a particular focus on low-budget movies, gender equality, the international outreach of the Swiss audiovisual branch and the upcoming digital technologies.
The above goals are achieved through:
_ Political participation via articles and surveys
_Organization of public events
_Collaboration with other film associations
_ Launch of pilot projects to test new ideas
_ Writing retreats and speed mentoring events to foster collaborations
_ Networking through events and parties
