Bio

Pic Film is one of the Swiss pioneers in independent film production, founded in 1967. Based in Manno, Switzerland, from the very beginning the company has been a laboratory of craft, uniting directors, cameramen, sound recordists, editors, sound mixers and actors. The first 20 years of its experience focused on the production of fiction feature films such as L’Aria Serena dell’ovest by Silvio Soldini and Notre dame de la croisette by Daniel Schmid. Since the 1990s Pic Film has turned its attention more towards creative documentaries such as the award winning Dhobighat by Giorgio Garini. Today Pic Film works at 360 degrees: from production to shooting and post-production. The headquarter hosts new generation editing and color grading suites, a recording studio, a Dolby Atmos sound mix studio and co-working spaces. The main aim of Pic Film is to promote high-level Swiss auteur films through the work of talented and emerging filmmakers, launching their work in the European and international markets. Pic Film is member of Swissfilm Association and founder member of AFAT Associazione Film Audiovisivi Ticino.
