Several Swiss films exceeded the 100,000 admissions mark worldwide in 2024. Le procès du chien (Dog on Trial), the first feature film by and starring French-Swiss director Laetitia Dosch, has become the best-marketed Swiss film internationally in 2024, noted Swiss Films in its retrospective. The film attracted 130,000 viewers in France alone and was shown in more than 17 territories. The film was co-produced by Lionel Baier, of the company Bande à part Films based in Lausanne and the Swiss public broadcaster, RTS. The film is loosely based on a real-life story of a trial in France which centred on a dog that had repeatedly bitten strangers. Several co-productions, with a minority Swiss participation, recorded even more admissions worldwide. La chimère by the Italian director Alice Rohrwacher reached 245,000; Sidonie au Japon with French actress Isabelle Huppert had 241,000 admissions; and Gloria!, directed by the young Italian actress and singer Margherita Vicario, reached 215,000.
