Mendrisio Film Fund
The Mendrisio Film Fund, the result of a collaboration between the Ticino Film Commission and the City of Mendrisio, allows production companies residing in Switzerland or abroad to receive a credit for direct expenses incurred with companies, facilities, services and professionals for the production of films shot within the area of the City of Mendrisio. In this way, the city intends to encourage spending and direct economic development in the area.
The city
Mendrisio overlooks Lake Lugano, on the slopes of Monte Generoso and Monte San Giorgio, where the Mediterranean landscape blends with the pre-alpine one.
The City now has 10 neighborhoods; each with its own characteristics. This allows the town to offer a great diversity of settings in a small geographical area. In a few kilometers you can find medieval nuclei, industrial areas, forests, agricultural areas, shopping centers, historic buildings, but also modern ones, trains of the past, highways, mountain roads, etc..
The presence of the university faculty of architecture, the studio of the architect Mario Botta, as well as artists of the past (Vincenzo Vela) and of today (Ivo Soldini) enrich the wide "catalog" of views offered by the town.
