Bratsch - Ein Dorf macht Schule

Premiere January 2023 Switzerland
Best Documentary Kanton Bern Film Price 2023

The new film music project that I have the honour and the great pleasure  to be involved in is a collaboration with the Swiss Film and Documentary director Norbert Wiedmer. 
It is a long term documentary (2016 - 2022) that has followed the start of an alternative school concept in 2016 until the first generation of students are now leaving the school, to attend further education or enter a professional career. The new school already managed to revitalise a village in a remote Swiss mountain area and attracts a great number of new pupils every year. It created a name for itself, and offers an alternative to the schools run by the state.
The film will be shown at festivals, in cinemas and television starting in early 2023.
