Science and Research

Research is difficult to film. The work usually happened years earlier, in a room with no light, and the person who did it has spent a career learning to describe it precisely, which is exactly what makes it unwatchable. So I start before the camera. I go through the papers, the reports, whatever diagrams exist, and I keep reading until I find where the argument actually turned: a decision someone made, a failure nobody talks about, a year they refused to let go of an idea. That's usually where the film is. It's almost never in the abstract. What I deliver isn't a recorded interview. It's a structure: what matters, what should be shown, and where the person is inside all of it. I have made films for the SAFARI Research Group at ETH Zurich, the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry at the Paul Scherrer Institute, and the Competence Center Thermal Energy Storage at HSLU.

SAFARI Research Group

A continuing series about the researchers of a computer architecture group at ETH Zurich: what they worked on, why it mattered, and what stayed with them. Five Spotlights and a sixth in production. Each film begins with the research and ends with a person.
