Condor Films says goodbye to Martin Fueter
Together with around 240 employees and filmmakers spanning four decades, Condor Films held a farewell event last Saturday at the Rigiblick Theater to honor legendary producer Martin Fueter as he prepares to retire at the end of 2009.
Martin Fueter is regarded in the advertising industry as one of the inventors of the Swiss "advertising film" (TV commercials). In recognition of his extraordinary services over 46 years, the 65-year-old received the "Golden Key" from Managing Director Kristian Widmer, with lifelong access rights to the company. Christine Fueter, his wife, received an even more important gift: the key to the exclusive key box, giving her the deserved opportunity to have a say in her husband's passion for film. As the son of Dr. Heinrich Fueter and Anne-Marie Blanc, Martin Fueter worked in Condor Films, founded by his father in 1947, as a producer and director since 1963, and was a member of the management, board of directors and chairman of the board of directors for decades.
Martin Fueter, who wore a T-shirt with the large inscription "I Thank You All" at the ceremony, said in his acceptance speech that he was looking forward to realizing one or two more spots at Condor in the future as a freelancer, alongside producers Michael Gloor and Florian Studer.
