arttv.ch is an internet platform that reports on Swiss cultural events with short video clips and was founded in 2004 by Felix Schenker under the name "art-tv.ch - Swiss cultural television online" as a non-profit association in Zurich . The aim of the association is audio-visual cultural mediation in Switzerland, which is to be achieved with short video clips about Swiss cultural events.
Around 4,500 video reports have been produced since the company was founded (as of 2018). The culture platform is supported by the majority of the Swiss cantons and various cities and foundations. In 2013 the platform was expanded with the festivalonline.ch website, which shows the Swiss film festivals. The association, based in Zurich, has around 750 members (as of 2013) and is politically neutral according to the statute. The president of the association is the former cultural director of the city of Zurich, Jean-Pierre Hoby , from 2008 to 2016 Roy Oppenheim headed arttv.ch. Felix Schenker was the founding president from 2004 to 2008.

history
The founder, Felix Schenker, was a gallery owner and publicist in Lucerne until 2004 . In his opinion, radio and television report less and less about culture and only at off-peak times. Since Schenker had been dealing with new media professionally since the early 1990s, he wanted to use this medium to convey culture as well. Together with people from film and cultural circles, he founded arttv.ch in May 2004 after a test phase. People with professional experience in the areas of cultural mediation, video production, journalism, the arts, marketing and web publishing gradually added to the project team. The canton of Basel-Landschaft was the first Swiss canton to give arttv.ch financial support. The canton's cultural commissioner, Niggi Ullrich, thus carried out a paradigm shift: never before has a medium been supported by the public sector with direct payments. Ullrich thus follows a new understanding of cultural communication, according to which the cultural scene itself should become a kind of media company. The cantons of Nidwalden and Uri as well as the cities of Zurich and Winterthur followed as further financial supporters .
Events
In June 2006, the association initiated the first Swiss national film pilgrimage to Einsiedeln . arttv.ch launched Switzerland's first film critic award under the name Schweizer Filmperlen. The five best Swiss films were selected annually. The first award winner in 2005 was Stefan Schwietert for his film Accordion Tribe . The award was presented at the Solothurn Film Festival and moderated by Monika Schärer .
