Swiss Post and the Locarno Film Festival in partnership for Swiss Crypto Stamp 2.0 19.07.2022
Exactly 20 years ago, Swiss Post proudly sponsored the Locarno Film Festival for the first time. In 2022, a collection of magnificent and unprecedented crypto stamps was born from this historic partnership. The collection is a tribute to Swiss cinema.
Swiss Post’s services for domestic and international letter delivery help to circulate ideas and bring people together.
From this historical activity, the yellow giant has developed a strong attachment to the world of culture, which has the same aspirations.
A matter of the heart
Swiss Post has maintained a special relationship with the Locarno Film Festival for 20 years. The two partners are jointly committed to a culturally rich and dynamic Switzerland.
“The partnership with Switzerland’s biggest film event and one of Europe’s most prestigious film festivals is a matter of the heart for Swiss Post,” says Melanie Schmid, Head of Live Communications at Swiss Post.
Swiss Post supports the Locarno Film Festival as a sponsor and logistics partner and provides a PostBus shuttle service for visitors to the festival.
Swiss Crypto Stamp 2.0 is the result of a special collaboration with this year’s festival, which aims to honour Swiss cinema.
Vitality and talent in Swiss philately and film
Have you heard of Yan Hirschbühl, Klaudia Reynicke, Denise Fernandes or Cyril Schäublin, to name but a few?
These up-and-coming Swiss film directors were chosen by the Locarno Film Festival to create the NFTs for Swiss Crypto Stamp 2.0, which will take the form of short films.
The collection of ten original and striking crypto stamps testifies to Swiss Post’s philatelic expertise and the exceptional vitality and diversity of Swiss film production.
The stamps can now be viewed online: Crypto Stamp 2.0 (swisspost.ch) Sales will begin on 8 August.
