The distributors of the two Swiss productions have been granted export funding by the Federal Office for Culture and national promotional agency Swiss Films. Salzgeber & Co. Medien GmbH (Berlin) have received €17,500 while Artedis (Paris) have obtained €9,500.
Created in 2007 to increase the chances of international success for Swiss titles, the export support fund has an annual sum of €190,000 at its disposal. Funding is awarded during four sessions held in March, June, September and December.
