Alexander Larson
I first followed a preparation year in visual arts where I was able to use different types of medium such as photography, drawing, video and more... I still see that year has a touchstone, which then lead me to a BA in Cinema in Geneva, which is mainly focused on Documentaries.
During my three years, I was able to gain experience on multiple film sets, and encountered many ways to address different subjects. For instance, I followed a 1 month residency in Phnom Pen- h(Combodia) with Rithy Pan. I also took the chance of going abroad for one semester in San Fransisco where I gladly rediscovered the joy of touching different types of medium, and pushed my confidence in my filming abilities. I was very happy to follow a wide range of courses such as Media analysis, Cultural studies, and Narratives structures.
Since finishing my BA, I have been working on film shoots around Switzerland and Europe. I am pursuing personal projects. Recently I was selected in a residency in Paris at the CNES (french NASA), where I had access to their archives, and presented a video during the Journée du Patrimoine.
