Lionel Baier will present his three films in the Mosaico suizo programme: "Un autre homme" (2008); "Comme des voleurs" (2006); and "Garçon Stupide" (2004). Séverine Cornamusaz will present her fiction film "Coeur animal", which was awarded the Quartz Swiss Film Prize 2010. The films "Die Standesbeamtin" by Micha Lewinsky, "Tag am Meer" by Moritz Gerber and "Tandoori Love" by Oliver Paulus will round off the exceptional Swiss presence at the largest film festival in Chile.
Mosaico suizo was initiated by SWISS FILMS. It is part of the Lazos suizos cultural programme with which SWISS FILMS and the Swiss Arts Council aim to promote select cooperation projects and cultural exchange with the South American countries of Chile and Argentina. In April of this year, the BAFICI (Buenos Aires Festival Internacional de Cine Independiente) honoured Peter Liechti with a retrospective.
