The Film Commission Lucerne & Central Switzerland announced on Wednesday that the paddle steamer Schiller would be the first location in Switzerland to be recognised as a 'Treasure of European Film Culture' by the European Film Academy. Scenes from the feature film La Chimera were shot on the ship in 2022.
This puts the steamship in the same league as the giant Ferris wheel in Vienna's Prater (The Third Man) or the Trevi fountain in Rome (La Dolce Vita). The Academy wants to use the awards to help preserve places, landscapes, buildings and facilities for future generations, according to the press release.
The film La Chimera by Alice Rohrwacher is about the robbery of historical artefacts. It was shown to the public for the first time at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
The European Film Academy will present this year's awards on December 7, 2024, at the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre, according to the press release.
