Actors and actresses personify, identify, emotionalize : they are the faces of movies and TV films. Strengthening and improving the positioning of Swiss actors and actresses in the public consciousness represents great economic potential for the film industry in Switzerland and has not yet been sufficiently exploited!
1st Part: Impulse Workshop with actors and actresses, directors, casting professionals and film critics, open to a limited number of participants. Professionals from Switzerland and abroad as well as selected participants will form workgroups to discuss promotion and marketing, the promotion of talent, the politics of distributing roles, casting, training and further education, etc.
2nd Part: Public presentation of collected "impulses". The findings of this workshop for the future will be presented to the public in a concluding plenary session.
