The 2011 Schweizer Filmpreis ‎(Swiss Film Prize) - nominations


The Schweizer Filmakademie (Swiss Film Academy) announced the nominations for their 2011 Schweizer Filmpreis ‎(Swiss Film Prizes), known as the "Quartz". 35 nominations were made in nine categories, and each nomination comes with a cash prize of CHF 5,000 to 25,000 (Swiss Francs). A total of CHF 425,000 prize money was awarded.

Three films led with three nominations apiece including Best Film - Peter Luisi’s Der Sandmann (The Sandman), Michael Steiner’s Sennentuntschi and Mike Schaerer’s Stationspiraten (Ward Pirates). Der Sandmann also received nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Actor (Fabian Krüger). Sennentuntschi took additional nominations for Actor (Andrea Zogg) and Score (Adrian Frutiger). The other nominations for Stationspiraten were for Actor (Scherwin Amini) and Supporting Actor (Stefan Kurt).

The other Best Film nominees were Silvio Soldini's Cosa voglio di più (Come Undone) and La petite chambre (The Little Room) by Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond. Both were also nominated for Best Screenplay.

Peter Luisi received an additional nomination for his short film Die Praktikantin (The Intern).

Approximately 300 Academy members voted on the over 120 film submissions. The results were then sent to a nine-member committee who set the nominations based on the votes. The nomination committee consisted of the following members of the Academy: Madeleine Hirsiger, journalist; Christian Jungen, journalist; Ivo Kummer, Director of the Solothurn Film Festival; Beat Marti, actor; Tiziana Mona, journalist; Xavier Ruiz, film director and producer; Pascal Trächslin, film producer and distributor; Romed Wyder, film director and producer; and Ruxandra Zenide, film director.
