Ruth Waldburger is the owner of the production company Vega Film AG and the distribution company Vega Distribution AG. Vega Film (founded in 1988) is one of the most renowned film production companies in Switzerland, having produced over 100 films, many of which were awarded important prizes. Some of them are international coproductions, like «Johnny Suede», starring Brad Pitt and directed by Tom DiCillo, which won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival in 1991 and «On connaît la chanson» by Alain Resnais (Silver Bear at the Berlinale in 1998) or «Notre musique» by Jean-Luc Godard (Grand Prix FIPRESCI at the San Sebastian Film Festival in 2004). Furthermore VEGA produced numerous Swiss films, among which «La petite chambre», representing Switzerland at the Oscars in 2010 and awarded the Quartz for Best fiction film (Swiss Film Award). In 2011,« The Turin Horse» by Béla Tarr was awarded the Jury Grand Prix – Silver Bear in Berlin, and more recently «L‘enfant d‘en haut» («Sister») by Ursula Meier won the Special Award – Silver Bear. In 2018, Germinal Raoux‘ „Fortuna“ won the Crystal Bear for Best Film as well as the International Jury prize for Best Film at the 68th Berlinale Generation 14plus competition. Throughout the years, no less than 11 films by Jean-Luc Godard were produced by Ruth Waldburger. The Locarno Film Festival awarded Ruth Waldburger in 2003 with the Raimondo Rezzonico Life Achievement Award for the entirety of her production activities.
