Launch of the Geneva Film Commission: Geneva is positioning itself as a vibrant hub for audiovisual productions.
During the 2025 Locarno Film Festival, the Canton and City of Geneva unveiled a joint initiative designed to make Geneva the standard-bearer for audiovisual content, both within Switzerland and internationally. This new programme, christened the Geneva Film Commission, constitutes an ambitious, incentivising measure that will promote the shooting and production of films and TV series on Genevan soil. The programme will be based on two key aspects: a film office, housed at the Geneva Tourism & Congress Foundation, which will support and facilitate the organisation of both home-grown and international productions; and a financial mechanism known as a cash rebate which will pay back to filmmakers a share office costs incurred in the Canton. This measure will make it possible to add real dynamism to a rapidly-growing sector that is creating plenty of new jobs.
