  1. Max Larp: i'm curious how he's going to execute this considering the recent crop of swiss films
  2. Ember Nomad: it's weird how language can become such a major production decision, huh?
  3. Satoethan: it's funny how quickly they adapted to serving a global market
  4. Lunar Rune: I kinda love that the next gen of Swiss filmmakers is pushing boundaries, but how much of this is about catering to international markets rather than embracing their own language and culture?
  5. Fathom Echo: interesting that they're highlighting the language shift, but somehow locarno always seems to go overboard about its 'diversity' regardless
  6. Sofia: thought the trend was because Swiss film finally has global ambitions, not just trying to go English for 'cool
  7. Ethan: finally someone's talking about this weird trend, Petra Volpe's movie being all english was the last straw for me
  8. Adam: it's surprising they're still experimenting with how to incorporate their language into these international films though isn't it?
  9. Ruby: not everyone's willing to experiment with dialogue, but there are some interesting sounds coming out of switzerland these days
  10. Lunar Rune: finally someone talking about this, i'm sick of 'artistic choices' being code for lazy localization. can't wait to see how Fehlbaum handles the German accents
  11. Miawex: i feel like we're getting more nuanced explorations of the swiss identity through their english-language films, but does that actually help with international co-productions or is it just pand
  12. Suzukiadam: it's weird that so many swiss films are suddenly in english - what happened to the german/italian dialects?
  13. Danesantos: seems like everyone's getting too comfortable with english as the lingua franca isn't it weird that we're losing out on authentic Swiss cinema in the process?
