Federal Councillor Elisabeth Baume-Schneider left the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday after three days of intensive exchanges, meetings and film screenings. This year's edition was "a very special one" for Switzerland, said Baume-Schneider on her visit.
Switzerland is the Guest of Honor of the Film Market at this year's 77th edition of the film festival. "As Guest of Honor of the Film Market, our country has the opportunity to present the full diversity of its filmmaking. Swiss film is a success and we are proud of it," wrote the Federal Councillor on the online platform X, formerly Twitter.
The Minister of Culture walked the red carpet in Cannes on Thursday evening with a ten-person delegation, but her trip to the Côte d'Azur was not just about climbing the stairs to the Palais des Festivals. Cannes is "a place of culture and relaxation, but also a place where work is extremely intense," Elisabeth Baume-Schneider told the news agency Keystone-SDA.
