The Reporter - Reading with Hanspeter Bäni

Description

Rarely has a documentary filmmaker from Swiss television attracted so much attention with his stories as Hanspeter Bäni, born in Zurich in 1956.
With his reports, he sparked, among other things, the controversial debate about a juvenile offender who became nationally known under the pseudonym "Carlos." He documented the moving fate of the "White Queen," who married a prince in Africa, and closely accompanied a fraudster from imprisonment to his death. Over a filming period of 20 years, he also made a film about a mountain farming family marked by severe misfortunes. In the current book "The Reporter - Stories Beyond the Filming," the multiple award-winning author offers fascinating insights into the making of his films. The stories often draw on the challenges of his own difficult childhood and youth. Moreover, the reports repeatedly reflect the political, economic, and social developments from the late 1990s to the present. Hanspeter Bäni reads from his book in the Stadthaussaal, complemented by excerpts from his films. An event by the Effretikon Library, in cooperation with the associations "Lebensphase 3" and "ApplausHaus." More info: www.derreporter.ch
