Artistic director, Moritz de Hadeln in his own words

"When I was growing up in Florence, we did not have any air-conditioning, so two or three evenings a week we used to go to an outdoor cinema with our mother. As an act of rebellion, I told my parents I wanted to become a film-maker. I started out as a freelance photographer and founded a group of photographers. Then I started making documentaries and eventually we started the documentary film festival of Nyon, Switzerland."
