Audiovisuelle Lesung Hanspeter Bäni

The Reporter – Stories Beyond Filming
Insights into a world between risk, research and reality

Rarely has a documentary filmmaker from Swiss television attracted as much attention with his stories as Hanspeter Bäni. With his reports, he sparked the controversial debate about a juvenile offender who became known nationwide under the pseudonym "Carlos". He documented the moving fate of the "White Queen", who married a prince in Africa, and accompanied a fraudster up close from his imprisonment to his death. Over a shooting period of 20 years, he also made a film about a mountain farming family that was marked by heavy strokes of fate.
