Tania Stöcklin

The first documentary about the legendary mime Marcel Marceau. He inspired several generations of artists, including his grandson and his family, who shed new light on his life’s work.

Is parenthood the only logical continuation of every life? Has the traditional concept of the nuclear family had its day? The filmmaker has achieved what many women in a comparable situation think about but never actually do. In the film, based on her daughter's procreation story and with the help of a sperm donor, Marina Belobrovaja deals with existing social ideas, role patterns and conventions around parenthood and family.

17-year old Sarah, filled with adolescent angst, is an extreme person who in her rehearsals with a theatre group is transformed until she is almost in a trance, and her performances at home or elsewhere verge on excess. A cold, intellectual father, a timid mother, a younger sister and an older brother who has left home complete the picture: a silent time bomb.

A film about longstanding relationships, family, and the deep consequences of falling in love. While exploring themes of love in music, poetry and art, the filmmaker reflects on his life and the journeys on which love has taken him. Now, a new journey will test him again, an intercontinental exodus to keep his family together. A real and intimate portrait about the complexity of love.

Martin indulged in his excessive use of drugs. He recorded his frenzied life in his diaries while his friend Ivo passionately captured everything on film with his Super 8 camera. Both sought for the absolute – average was not an option. Through the lens of this journal, Ivo Zen tells the story of his generation, a story about friendship and the desire to fly higher than anybody else.

히로시마 원폭 생존자들의 인터뷰를 통해 후쿠시마 핵발전소 사고를 재조명한다. 히로시마에서 후쿠시마로, 1945년에서 2011년으로, 공간과 시간은 변하지만 두 사건은 서로 맞닿아있다. 영화는 스스로 살아남아야 했던 생존자들, 핵의 위험과 공포, 그리고 이를 은폐하는 힘을 보여주며 언제든 이 모든 것들이 반복될 수 있음을 강조한다. (2016년 제21회 서울인권영화제) 1945년 히로시마 원폭을 겪은 생존자들은 2011년 후쿠시마 핵발전소 사고를 마주한다. 역사가 반복되는 배경에는 진실을 숨기려 하는 힘이 존재한다고 생존자들은 말한다. 영화는 우리가 겪은 공포와 그 시간은 언제든 또다시 반복될 수 있다고 경고한다. (2016년 제21회 인천인권영화제) 작품해설 1945년 히로시마 원폭 생존자들은 말한다. 피폭으로 인해 사람들이 죽어갔지만 말할 수도 정확히 알 수도 기록할 수도 없었다고 증언한다. 미국은 원폭 피해에 대해 함구하라는 명령을 패전국인 일본에 했기 때문이다. 2011년 후쿠시마 핵발전소 사고가 일어난다. 사람들은 공포에 떨지만 일본 정부는 사람들의 눈을 가리고 귀를 막고 진실을 숨긴 채 안전하다고만 한다. 그리고 다시 핵발전소를 운영하려 한다. 이에 두 사건의 생존자들은 피폭인으로 마주하며 살아내야 하는 두려운 현실을 이야기한다. 그리고 숨기려 하는 자들에 맞서 말하지 않고 알려 하지 않고 행하지 않으면 역사는 또다시 반복될 것이라고 경고한다.

The father tends his large garden with the utmost precision. The mother irons shirts and regrets that the father never wears T-shirts. The father likes order, always knows best, and has everything under control. The mother prays and talks of her loneliness. The two are fundamentally different, have opposing views and interests, and have been married for 62 years. Closely knit yet poles apart: this is the ambivalent standpoint from which Peter Liechti turns his lens on his elderly parents and the story of their marriage. Alongside conversations that shift from slapstick to insanity and observations of daily life in his parents’ cramped, lower middle class apartment, a puppet theatre is also established as a second location. This forms the stage for scenes between mother and father to be reenacted by rabbit puppets; as a puppet, the son can also react in explosive fashion.

A documentary about experimental drummer Fritz Hauser.

The incredible story of how the mummified corpse of a 40-year-old man was discovered by a hunter in one of the most remote parts of the country. The dead man's detailed notes reveal that he actually committed suicide through self-imposed starvation only the summer before. Liechti's film is a stunning rapprochement of a fictional text, which itself is based upon a true event: a cinematic manifesto for life, challenged by the main character's radical renunciation of life itself.

This documentary follows swiss improvisation musicians and tells there stories.

After 30 years of chain smoking, Swiss filmmaker Peter Liechti sets out on a journey - three times! - to wean himself off cigarettes. He departs from Zürich and walks to St. Gallen, the place were he grew up und also the place where he started smoking. On his pilgrimage through Switzerland he hopes to find the root of his addiction and waits for a final catharsis to release him. Time and time again though, his sympathy for other smokers and disdain for goody-goody non-smokers gets in the way. And time after time his nicotine addiction gets the best of him. His three attempts to quit by walking it off, turn into an expedition of Liechtis home country. He gives a declaration of independence but also a confession of love to Switzerland.
