What is Filmevent?

Since 2010, Filmevent has turned company gatherings into unforgettable film experiences. Your team picks a story, slips into roles in front of and behind the camera, and celebrates the finished film at your own premiere at the end of the day. For teams from 6 to 1'000 people - professionally guided from the first clapperboard to the final applause.

  • 6 to 1'000 people

    Whether as a single film crew or split across parallel teams: Filmevent scales to your group. Up to 10 people per team work together on their film, with roles in front of and behind the camera.

  • Flexible in time and place

    A Filmevent takes about 4 to 5 hours, premiere included. Seminar hotel, event venue or your own office: we turn almost any place into a film set for a few hours.

  • In German, English and French

    In German, English and French. We run Filmevents in Swiss German, German, English and French - and bilingually on request, or with professional translation into other languages.

THE FLOW

A day like on a film set

From briefing to premiere, your team lives a real shooting day - creative, surprising and perfectly organised.

Prepare

Pick the script. Cast the roles. Step into the film world.

Your team starts by picking a fitting story and assigning the roles. In front of the camera or behind it: everyone finds a place in the production. After a short, fun briefing, you're ready for your shared shooting day.

  • Story tailored to your team
  • Roles for every personality
  • An easy start for everyone

Shoot

Camera rolls. Team catches the film bug.

Then it's lights, camera, action: scene by scene, your own short film takes shape. You act, improvise, back each other up and discover new sides of one another. Our crew is alongside you all day, giving tips and keeping the shoot loose, fun and accessible for everyone.

  • Discover unexpected talent
  • Outdo yourselves together
  • Moments that connect

Film magic

While you toast, your film comes together.

After the shoot there's time for apéro, dinner or a relaxed side programme. While you soak up the moment, your footage is prepared for the premiere - so your shooting day ends with a shared, wow-effect finale.

  • A relaxed break after the shoot
  • Film magic in the background
  • Anticipation for the premiere

Premiere

Applause, awards, goosebumps.

What Filmevent feels like

Team event in Zurich

Zurich as a film backdrop

Zurich is the perfect stage for a Filmevent: short distances, varied venues and teams that are up for something special. Right in the city, by the lake or in an industrial setting - there's a fitting shooting location for almost any occasion.

We've already produced hundreds of Filmevents in Zurich and know the city from countless shoots. We know which venues work for larger groups, where the strong scenes get shot and how an event runs smoothly on the day.

Whether at your own venue or somewhere we pick together: we run your Filmevent in Zurich flexibly, easily and - on request - multilingually, in German, English or French.

Wrapped

DHL Express Schweiz

100 participants · 7 film teams · Campus Hotel Hertenstein, Lake Lucerne

On the shore of Lake Lucerne, the DHL event turned into a shooting day for nearly 100 people. Seven film teams produced their shorts in parallel, took dinner out on a boat between shoot and premiere, and gathered for one big screening in the evening. An international workforce, one shared film: a team event that lands as multilingual team building across locations, languages and departments, and leaves the kind of company event everyone keeps revisiting later.

Wrapped

Swisscom

10 participants · 1 film team · Waldhütte Neuenhof, Aargau

A forest cabin tucked between the trees, a tight Swisscom team, one shared short film. A single film crew acted and shot together, and the premiere screened in the same cabin once dusk fell. Small in format, big in impact: this team event shows that even a group of ten can have a full team building experience, with a real film shoot, a premiere worth cheering for, and a company outing that keeps coming up in conversations long after the lights come back up.

Wrapped

AXA Generalagentur

15-20 participants · 2 film teams · Kartause Ittingen, Thurgau

A former charterhouse in the rolling hills of Thurgau became a film set for an afternoon. The tight-knit AXA team shot one short film per group in two crews, with the premiere wrapped before sunset. Monastic stillness meets the clapperboard and proves that even smaller company events can land as a real team building: a team event that works the moment the format fits the group and every person finds a role on set that genuinely suits them and feels their own.

We're happy to share more projects and references on request.

ZURICH FAQs

Frequently asked about Zurich.

Which Zurich event venues fit my group size best?

In Zurich we work with different venues depending on group size. For intimate team events up to 30 people, lofts in Kreis 4 or 5, hotel meeting rooms near the main station or your own office work particularly well. Medium groups up to 150 often meet at Mühle Tiefenbrunnen in Seefeld, JED Events in Schlieren, Kraftwerk Selnau or Aura near Paradeplatz.

For large company events from 200 people we recommend Halle 622 in Oerlikon, Kongresshaus Zürich or the Schiffbau. We know the quirks of each location and gladly advise which one fits your team building best.

Can we combine our team event in Zurich with a boat trip on Lake Zurich?

Absolutely, this is one of our most popular Zurich combinations. ZSG operates salon ships for 50 to 500 people with catering and apéro, ideal for the editing break between shoot and premiere. Often we shoot on land in the afternoon, then board the team for apéro and dinner on the water and return for the premiere - or the other way around.

The piers at Bürkliplatz, Tiefenbrunnen and Wollishofen work very well for arrivals and departures. Lake Zurich turns a classic team building into a company event with serious postcard quality that stays with everyone long after.

Can we shoot outdoors in Zurich - in the old town, by the lake or on the Üetliberg?

Yes, many of our Zurich Filmevents make active use of outdoor spaces. Popular spots include Lindenhof with views over the old town, the Niederdorf for lively street scenes, Bürkliplatz and the lake basin for water shots, and the Üetliberg or Käferberg for natural backdrops. We pick the locations together with the film team on the day, mostly within walking distance of the venue.

For private shoots without heavy equipment no permit is usually needed. In the city centre we avoid rush hours on Bahnhofstrasse and around the main station to keep your team event in Zurich hassle-free.

When is the best time for a team event in Zurich?

Zurich has a clear event calendar. Quieter months are January, February, March, July and August - many companies pause for summer holidays and venues are widely available. Peak months for company events are September, October, November and December, when the calendar fills up fast, especially around Q4 kick-offs and Christmas parties.

Three Zurich specialities further affect venue availability: Sechseläuten in late April, the Street Parade in mid-August and the Zurich Film Festival in October. For larger groups we recommend planning three to six months ahead to secure your preferred team event date.

How does a Filmevent in Zurich work for an English-speaking team?

English is the most common language at our Zurich team events, second only to Swiss German. For international companies in tech, finance or pharma we run the whole Filmevent in English, from the first briefing and the support on set to the premiere. Our event hosts in Zurich lead the day in German, English and French.

Mixed groups work just as well: one Filmevent can run in several languages at once, for example with German-speaking management and an English-speaking workforce. That mix is exactly what makes the team building so effective for international teams.

How do participants in Zurich best reach the event location?

In Zurich we clearly recommend public transport. From Zurich main station most event venues are 10 to 20 minutes away by tram, S-Bahn or bus - Halle 622 via S15, Mühle Tiefenbrunnen via tram 4, JED Events via S-Bahn to Schlieren. A ZVV group ticket gets a whole workforce there cheaply and without hassle.

Parking in Zurich is expensive and heavily regulated; many event venues have no dedicated parking. If someone still drives in, the best option is a central garage and a short hop to the venue on public transport.

Can we combine our Christmas party in Zurich with a Filmevent?

Very happily - it's one of our most popular Zurich events in December. A classic flow: the team shoots in the afternoon at a winter-friendly venue, the editing break is filled with a mulled wine apéro, the premiere screens in the evening, and afterwards an optional walk to the Christmas market at the main station or in the Niederdorf.

December favourites include atmospheric venues like Mühle Tiefenbrunnen, event location Aura or Restaurant Schiffbau. On request we offer Christmas-flavoured story genres - from a crime piece with snowfall to a romantic comedy under the Christmas tree - so the team event feels like a real Christmas party.
