Switzerland has developed a distinctive yet evident culture over these years this has been
influenced by the neighboring countries and the international sentiment prevailing in
Switzerland.The cinema made its debut in Switzerland a few months after the Lumière and
Skladanowsky brothers' initial public presentations in Paris and Berlin.Switzerland's Alpine
beauty has appeared in innumerable films but the local film industry is still mostly dominated
by foreign productions. The country's cinemas are also among the less well-known in the world
and there isn't much information available in English on its film history.Over the years many
Swiss long or short films and documentaries were shot outside of Switzerland in other nations
and vice versa. These other nations included without limitation both Australia and the United
States of America the Netherlands Germany Canada France Japan Finland Norway etc.
Switzerland also served as the location for the filming and production of many foreign films.
