Skillset Screens Centre Presents Baier

The Swiss writer and director, Lionel Baier, is talking about his work and latest feature film, Un Autre Homme (Another Man).
The event takes place at the Edinburgh Skillset Screen & Media Academy Production Centre, in Merchiston Ave, with the film being screening in the evening at Filmhouse.
Lionel Baier comes from a Swiss family of Polish extraction and from 1992 onwards, he programmed and co-managed the Rex Movie Theatre in Aubonne (Switzerland).
Between 1995 and 1999, he studied at the Faculty of Arts at Lausanne University. Since 2002 Lionel Baier has been in charge of the cinema section at ECAL (University of Art and Design, Lausanne). His first two fiction features, Stupid Boy and Stealth, were internationally distributed in several European countries as well as in the USA, and were also shown at countless festivals around the world. They were warmly received both by the critics and the public.
Un Autre Homme (Another Man) is Baier's third fiction feature.
He recalled: "I remember seeing Truffaut's The Mississipi Mermaid one evening in the summer of '88.
"I was 12 years old. And that night, my parents' old Phillips TV set really suited my yearnings.
"It was all there: a double life, masquerade, enigma, car, snow, violence and, above all, the bodies of Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo.
"The tense virility of a man shot to convey boyish bashfulness, alongside a woman with an upright self-assuredness.
"All of which seemed to meet my own budding desire, and that desire is what led me to direct Robin Harsch and Natacha Koutchoumov in Another Man," he said.
