Filmgerberei: Image film for the canton of Zurich

The Filmgerberei and director PietBaumgartner convinced those responsible with the "Das bin ich" concept. From a first-person perspective, the canton of Zurich tells a self-critical story about who it is and how it inspires people with its weaknesses and strengths. Self-confident, but not arrogant and always with a pinch of humor - that was the credo, and with its emotional images, the film arouses sympathy for the canton of Zurich. "I've never seen so many sunrises in Zurich," summarizes Piet Baumgartner, director, after the work is done. "But that's how it goes when you only choose the most beautiful light."

Over 80 participants from all over the canton

"In terms of production, the image film was a major challenge with over 40 locations and more than 80 participants," explains producer Paula Liszko. The juniors of EV-Dielsdorf-Niederhasli, the Bülach traditional costume group and the Rafzerfeld Nordic walking group are just a few of the many actors who represent their canton in all its facets, making it all the more important to shoot with a flexible small team consisting of a director and cameraman. The many drone shots had to be practiced, because the aerial shots are central to the form and timing of the choreography. The end result is a film that is convincing in every detail and arouses fascination for the Canton of Zurich.Responsible at Filmgerberei: Paula Liszko, production; Piet Baumgartner, direction; Silvio Gerber, camera; Lena Kast, production assistance; Lea Filadoro & Ares Ceylan, post-production; Roman Lerch, music & sound design.
