Filming in Zurich, curse or blessing?
More and more filming takes place in the city of Zurich, be it for feature and documentary films, short films or commercials. But are the city of Zurich and its administrative departments ready for these productions, and can they provide even more streets, squares and green spaces for filming?
On 3 October 2018, the Zurich City Council expressed its support for the continuation of the "Film Commission Zurich" and thus "for the promotion of the entire film industry, which is both desirable and useful from a cultural policy perspective and from the point of view of economic development. In addition, he affirms his endeavor to strengthen the film location of Zurich with efficient approval processes and a pronounced customer focus on the part of the city administration and to handle the increased rotation volume efficiently. »[Nbsp]With:

Nelly, a young student and bus driver on the side, lives with her slightly demented grandmother Rosemarie. But she actually moves to her allotment garden parcel, and she jacks out once again. Putting her grandmother in a home is out of the question for Nelly. And because the two are soon to be thrown out of her apartment anyway, Nelly wants to move into the old allotment garden house with Rosemarie. However, this is forbidden by the allotment garden ordinance - and when it comes to this ordinance, the resolute president of the allotment garden, Franco, is no fun at all. But that doesn't bother the cheeky Nelly at all, and together with another newcomer, the musician Paolo Cesar, she mixes up the allotment garden to change the ordinance. In the multicultural microcosm, the film shows how various nationalities find a piece of home in the garden.
Inspired by Mano Khalil's award-winning documentary "Our Garden of Eden", Rolf Lyssy tells an amusing story about Switzerland and its multicultural diversity in his first TV film.
