Global streamers must invest 4 of Swiss revenue into local production
Switzerland’s co-called “Netflix law” will lead to greater international co-production and export opportunities for Swiss content, according to leading figures from the country’s film and TV industry.
Switzerland is poised to roll out legislation – dubbed locally as the “Lex Netflix” (Netflix law) - obliging global streamers such as Amazon, Disney+ and Netflix to reinvest 4 of their Swiss revenue back into local production.
The legislation, scheduled to come into effect in 2024, follows a referendum on the issue last month, which was backed by 58 of voters. Under the Swiss system of direct democracy,...

Rome -- Julian Jarrold's "Brideshead Revisited" will open the 61st Locarno Film Festival, highlighting a lineup that will see nearly two dozen world premieres screen in the festival's historic Piazza Grande or in the main competition.
"Brideshead" -- a European premiere -- is a World War II drama based on the Evelyn Waugh novel and starring Matthew Goode as Capt. Charles Ryder. It screens Aug. 6.
The world premiere of Solveig Anspach's Franco-Icelandic comedy "Back Soon" will close the lakeside festival Aug. 16.
In between, the Piazza Grande lineup will unspool Marco Siega's comedic drama "Chaos Theory," Clark Gregg's comedy "Choke," Denis Rabaglia's romantic drama "Marcello, Marcello" and Garth Jennings' "Son of Rambow," which was scheduled to screen in Locarno in 2007 but pulled because of a legal dispute.
The Piazza Grande selection continues the trend of accessible fare screening in Europe's largest outdoor cinema venue under third-year artistic director Frederic Maire, as opposed to the more weighty and cerebral productions that screened there in the past.
The 17-film international competition lineup, meanwhile, is made up entirely of world and international premieres.
The complete competition lineup follows:

"Back Soon," Solveig Anspach, Iceland/France
"Berlin Calling," Hannes Stoehr, Germany

"Marcello Marcello," Denis Rabaglia, Switzerland/Germany
"Retouches," Georges Schwizgebel, Switzerland/Canada
"Night and the City," Jules Dassin, U.K.
"Nordwand," Philipp Stolzl, Germany/Austria/Switzerland
