Max Frisch, Citoyen

March 2008 •German

Max Frisch was the last big Swiss intellectual widely respected as a “voice” in its own right – a character hardly found today. The film retells Frisch’s story as a witness of the unfolding 20th century, wondering if such “voices” are needed at all, or if we could do without them.

Special Flight

August 2011 •French

Switzerland still carries out special flights, where passengers, dressed in diapers and helmets, are chained to their seats for 40 hours at worst. They are accompanied by police officers and immigration officials. The passengers are flown to their native countries, where they haven't set foot in in up to twenty years, and where their lives might be in danger. Children, wives and work are left behind in Switzerland. Near Geneva, in Frambois prison, live 25 illegal immigrants waiting for deportation. They are offered an opportunity to say goodbye to their families and return to their native countries on a regular flight, escorted by plain-clothes police officers. If they refuse this offer, the special flight is arranged fast and unexpectedly. The stories behind the locked cells are truly heartbreaking.

At(h)ome

May 2013 •English

More than fifty years after the end of the war, a filmmaker and a photographer, coming from the two camps of conflict and children heirs of Franco-Algerian colonial history, took us back in 1962 to the Algerian Sahara. From a desert zone irradiated to the suburbs of Algiers, they follow the course of an experimental nuclear explosion. From the trial to the accident, from the environmental impact to the "recycling" of the places of the past ... The starting point is historical but the story told catches up with us in the present and comes to seek us where we are - at home - for a face to face with fallout without borders.
