Questions & answers

The corporate environment gives way to the film set for one day. The participants take on different tasks in new roles. This creates a new dynamic in the team. The experience of making a film together and enjoying it on the same day creates a bond.

From a two-hour short shoot to a day-long film festival. We have the right film adventure for every time budget.

The course of a film event depends on the number of participants and the chosen location. As a rule, your own film production takes around 3 hours. Afterwards, we need about 2 hours to edit the films. This way your team can enjoy the film premiere on the same evening - the big highlight for the participants. 

The editing time is ideal for catering for the participants. Of course, other programme items can also be included.

A classic event schedule could look like this.

14:00 | Welcome
14:30 | Film production
17:30 | Dinner | Film editing
20:00 | Film premiere

We recommend that you do not interrupt the film production block. 

Otherwise, many time sequences are conceivable.

In terms of content, we provide the necessary concepts, ideas and basic stories. Materially, we bring unusual costumes, unusual props and of course the technical equipment for the realisation of the films. In terms of personnel, professional filmmakers ensure creative excesses and supervisors ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Throughout the planning process, our team will of course be at your side to answer any questions you may have.

The films we produce are usually made available on a server.

The Film Event offer does not include any costs for travel, locations, food and drinks.

We offer our events from five for up to 750 people. The participants are always divided into film teams. These film teams work independently on their own production.

A film team usually consists of a maximum of 15 people. Over the years it has been shown that this is an ideal size so that all participants are involved in the film process in the best possible way. While smaller groups are no problem at all, with larger groups there is a danger that active participation will decrease somewhat. For large events of 200 people or more, the event dynamics are different, and we form film teams of up to 25 people.

Each film team creates an individual film together with our filmmakers. 

With 60 people, four film teams create four different films.

With 500 people, twenty film teams create twenty different films.

Seasonal independence is one of the great advantages of Film Event. Our offer can be carried out on any day of the week throughout the year. Depending on the season, other premises lend themselves so that there are enough locations for a shoot in the warmth.

We currently design events in Swiss German, German, English, French and every hybrid in between. With professional translation, we have also organised events in many other languages.

There is no fixed requirement for this, depending on the size of the group, short-term requests are also possible. Availability in certain months is booked up relatively quickly. It is therefore worth booking dates as early as possible.

Our offer can be wonderfully adapted to the needs of children, the elderly or people with disabilities. We have already had many wonderful experiences and are happy to advise on the possibilities.

For all requests that go in a different direction than our classic product, we can certainly find the right partners. 

For corporate, advertising and image projects: Frame Engine

For documentaries and art projects: Orbit Film

Filmevent itself does not produce conventional productions. Exceptions are fictional short films that harmonise with our core competence. These are for example creative invitation videos, playful thank you videos and other non-conventional productions.

We are very flexible when it comes to choosing a location. Whether company headquarters, seminar room, restaurant or event location, we transform all places into a film backdrop. As a starting point for the film shoot, a room is needed which offers enough space for the participants, the props and costumes as well as the editing suite. This can also be divided into several rooms.

Fortunately, no. Even though it's fun to shoot a film when the weather is nice, it's also possible to adapt the story to the weather. Therefore, when planning a film event, the season does not play a weighty role.

For smaller events with up to 100 people, the screening equipment we bring is sufficient for a special film experience.

For events with more than 100 people, the demands on the technology become greater. In this case, we clarify with the location what is available and what may need to be rented in addition.

Each group is given a selection of basic stories. These stories are based on well-known film genres and only give the teams a direction. It is then up to the team to work out a story based on this. In this way, individual scripts are created that bear the handwriting of the participants.

Themes, slogans, products or values are good targets for the teams. It is important to bear in mind that the brief can be integrated visually in an exciting way. The company's own products or merchandise are particularly suitable.

In addition to tasks in the areas of screenwriting, directing, set design, make-up or location scouting, many naturally also become actors. We find the right role for everyone.

Since the stories can develop in many directions, we bring a large pool of costumes and props. It is then up to the participants to choose the appropriate outfit. Whether evening dress, leather waistcoat or Hawaiian shirt, there is something in the right size for everyone. In addition, the matching props round off the outfit. Among them are many characteristic hats, fancy glasses, menacing weapons and glittering gold chains.

For companies, we recommend bringing your own products or merchandise. Your own costumes are of course welcome.

 
 
 
 
 
Where the scenes are filmed is decided by the team on location. Depending on the weather and the scene, the group also moves outside. There are usually two to three locations per film. Of course, the filmmaker helps with the choice of locations.
Pour les entreprises, nous vous recommandons d'apporter vos propres produits ou merchandising. Les costumes personnels sont bien entendu les bienvenus.
 
 
 

The basic stories are based on classic genres. From action to zombie, we offer the right genre for everyone.

• Action
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Crime
• Fantasy
• Film Noir
• Horror
• Mafia
• Romance
• Sci-Fi
• Superhero
• Western
• Zombies

Each basic story will be realised only once on location. So the films will be completely different.

In order for us to be able to edit the many shots into a film, we reckon with around two hours. In addition to editing, audio, sound effects and visual effects will be added to the footage.

The films last between 5 and 10 minutes.

We make the films available to you for an unlimited period of time on a platform for streaming. Access to this platform is password protected.

The first film event took place on 01 June 2010 in Biel. Since then, many things have changed and developed. Especially the technological changes enable us to realise extraordinary short films in a very short time.

Zur Zeit sind wir vierzehn Personen, die sich um den Verkauf, das Eventmanagement, die Weiterentwicklung sowie das Geschäft kümmern. In unserem Pool an Freelancern befinden sich um die 50 Filmer:innen, welche auf Abruf an den Events zum Einsatz kommen.

We run over 200 events a year.
