The Last
Symphony
A 360° immersive fulldome documentary. Four continents. Vanishing glaciers. An original orchestral score.
Allow us to take you on an unforgettable journey through what might soon disappear forever — the glaciers' last symphony.
Our journey began several years ago, sparked by director Urs Wyss witnessing the disappearance of glaciers in his native Switzerland. For a filmmaker who grew up next to a glacier and ventured inside glaciers for his films, the change was devastating to witness.
The Last Symphony is a production by Avocado Productions (Switzerland). Director Urs Wyss and writer and creative producer Olga Rozanova are currently developing the film together — building a story told not through talking heads but through stunning 360° visuals, music, sound and the voices of the landscapes themselves.
Four continents. Vanishing glaciers. An original orchestral score. A film built to be felt, not just watched.
The people behind the film.
Latest from the production.
First location scouting completed
The Rhône Glacier in the Swiss Alps has been selected as a primary filming location. Scouting confirmed the visual conditions needed for fulldome capture — and the urgency the film demands.
Scientific advisory team confirmed
Glaciologist Matthias Huss from ETH Zürich has joined the project as scientific consultant. His research on glacier retreat will directly inform the film's narrative arc and location selection.
Development supported by Swiss Federal Office of Culture
The project has received development support from the Swiss Federal Office of Culture (BAK). This confirms the film's position within Switzerland's cultural production landscape.
This film needs the right partners.
We are actively seeking planetarium pre-sales, co-production partners, impact investors and festival submissions. If your organisation works at the intersection of science, climate and storytelling — we want to hear from you.
A typical immersive documentary of this kind is financed through a combination of public film support, foundations, NGO partnerships and planetarium pre-sales. We are experienced in working within these structures and can advise from the first conversation.
Planetariums & dome venues
Pre-sale agreements secure your screening rights and directly support production. We work with planetariums of all sizes — from regional science centres to international Cosm venues.
Film funds & cultural institutions
The film is supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture (BAK). We are actively applying to additional national and international film funds and welcome introductions.
NGOs & environmental foundations
For organisations working on climate, glaciers or biodiversity — this film is a communication tool as much as a documentary. We are open to partnership conversations at any stage.
Educational distribution
Schools, science centres and universities can licence the film for educational use. We are building a curriculum package to accompany the film for secondary and tertiary education.
