Anyway, I bought Maggie on DVD and watched it, and watched it a second time a few months ago, without knowing it was half a swiss production.
I just figured it out lately and was sooo surprised.
If we count CO-production, I may find others but can't remember them, or don't know they are partially swiss, so, my list will be short, with only, as I said, 100% swiss production, except this 1; and maybe others in the future anyway... - DirectorJean-Paul CardinauxXavier RuizStarsFlore BabledMarie PetiotRaphaël TschudiMarie and Elodie think that the lack of affordable housing for the young can be resolved by reducing the number of retired pensioners in their apartment block, Le Lignon.

I saw this movie in a theatre, not when it went out (way before my birth) but during a festival, and my father played in it, when he was a teenager.
A small role, and that's one of the very few movies he played in, and always just small parts.
I did a bit more myself, my 1st movie being almost 40 years ago, when I was just a baby.
Then, I had a lot of jobs (scriptwriter being one, but all other aren't jobs in the cinema, sadly), so, I didn't make many casting (where I've almost always been taken), and so, didn't play in many movies, but way more than my genitor anyway, and I played a few main roles. - DirectorMarkus ImhoofStarsFred JaggiRandolf MenzelJohn MillerAn in-depth look at honeybee colonies in California, Switzerland, China and Australia.

the last swiss movie I've seen (a few weeks ago in cinema) has been directed by the same man than the 1st movie of the list; but the 1st isn't the 1st swiss movie I've seen, faaaaar away, it's just the 1st I thought about when I created the list, because I liked this horror movie a lot, and wanna resee it badly since I saw it when it went out, in 2008. - DirectorOlias BarcoStarsNicolas DuvauchelleGrégoire ColinJuliette GoudotA young snowboarder with talent but no ambition, is introduced to the profession by a professional and Machiavellian snowboarder.

- DirectorGuillaume BroustStarsNina CaprezSimon GietlAnderl HeckmairSwissway to Heaven is a film about multi-pitch climbing that showcases the breathtaking mountain ranges and natural beauty of a truly extraordinary country. The amazing footage will take you through the history, ethics, and evolution of climbing in Switzerland. Switzerland is a climber's paradise, as well as the country where Cedric Lachat was born and raised. Through his unique sense of humor and unbridled enthusiasm, experience the beauty and awe of five of Switzerland's iconic peaks and mountain ranges: the Eiger, Gastlosen, Wendenstöcke, Lauterbrunnen, and Rätikon. Over the course of two years, Cedric Lachat and his climbing partners (Nina Caprez, Tobias Suter, Mélissa Le Nevé, and Fabien Dugit) captured on film their painstaking efforts to climb the most difficult routes on five of Switzerland's legendary big walls. Thanks to never-before-seen archive footage and photos, as well as interviews with first ascensionists and tireless route developers the film recounts the evolution of modern climbing and tells the story of an incredible human and athletic adventure.
