My Name Is Annemarie Schwarzenbach
New product!A film casting in Paris. Young actresses (and actors) try to incarnate the Swiss writer and traveller Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942). In order to get the role of this emblematic and sulphurous figure of the late 30s, a child of the “lost generation”, antifascist and gay, these actors play scenes of her life, and talk about their own life through the prism of her fascinating and ambiguous p...
