Update: 2015 / Original version: 2003 www.swissfilms.ch SAMIR BIOGRAPHY Born in 1955 in Baghdad, Iraq, Samir moved to Switzerland as a child with his parents at the beginning of the MULTIMEDIA 1960s. In the early 1970s he attended the Zurich AND MULTIPLE IDENTITIES School of Design and then completed an apprentice- ship as a typographer. After training as a cameraman, he began to make his own films in the mid 1980s and by Marcy Goldberg co-founded the Megaherz, Videoladen and Dschoint Ventschr video collectives n a far-sighted 1993 interview with the journalist Michael Sennhauser, Samir made a statement in Zurich. In the 1990s he worked for various German I that would prove significant for his career ever since: “I hope that my knowledge of Europe and broadcasters as a director for series and tv films. Together the Middle East will prove fruitful for my future as a filmmaker. This knowledge cannot be divided with the documentary film- maker Werner Schweizer, he into two – even if that's precisely what certain quarters seem to believe.” If anyone knows that things restructured the production company Dschoint Ventschr cannot simply be divided into two opposing categories, it is Samir.

In 1997 the two received the Zurich have thought could not be mixed: Arab and European culture, fiction and documentary, film and Film Prize for their support of young talent. Alongside his video, semiotic theory and police thrillers, the role of the auteur filmmaker and that of the producer. work as filmmaker and pro- ducer, Samir is also active in Samir is one of the most versatile personalities active on the Swiss film scene today. His theatre and installation arts. work ranges from experimental video, through documentary and feature films, to television pro- grammes and museum installations. He is equally at home as a TV talk-show host or a lecturer in media theory. Alongside his own filmmaking pursuits, he has long been active as a producer and talent-spotter, helping many young filmmakers launch their own careers. And he has also been a vocal participant in local politics and Swiss cultural policy debates. Navigating between places, identities and cultures has always been a crucial theme in his films. From the multicultural character Max alias Massimo Huber in his early fiction feature Filou (1988), to the real-life Karma Lobsang – the daughter of Tibetan immigrants who became a scholar of the ancient Swiss language Rhaeto-Romanic – in Tibet in The Navigating between places, identities and cultures has Engadine (1998) and, most recently, the tangled tale of his own always been a crucial theme family’s emigration in Iraqi Odyssey (2014), Samir's protagonists in Samir's films. live out their multiple identities in ways that defy clichés and pre- conceived ideas. Samir's unconventional approach is also evident in his use of film form. Over the years he has combined cinema, video and computer technology in various ways, always remaining on the cutting edge of new technical developments in the field. Unlike other filmmakers of his generation, who often turned to video simply as a low-budget alternative to celluloid, Samir understood early on that the aesthetic potential of video – and later of digital media – would allow him to create mul- tilayered sound and image compositions that would perfectly parallel the theme of hybridity in his work. His 1993 documentary Babylon 2 introduced the device of the layered and subdivided frame to portray the realities of being a “Secondo” (second-generation immigrant) in Switzerland in the electronic age. In its development of a new visual style and its treatment of a highly relevant – but up to that time largely neglected – topic, Babylon 2 remains one of the most influential documen- taries of contemporary Swiss film history.

The impossibility of easily reconciling these various aspects of their identities 1998 Projecziuns tibetanas (Tibet In The Engadine) is mirrored by the composition of the images, in which – thanks to split-screen and digital image TV documentary layering – there are always several different things happening at once. For Iraqi Odyssey he took 1997 La eta knabino (The Little Girl) short experimental film technical innovation one step further, integrating the latest 3D technologies into his investigation Angelique, short fiction (for the "Blind Date" TV series) of family history as a microcosm of geopolitical tensions.

TV comedy (ZDF) In Samir's work, the serious and the playful, the utopian and the ironic exist side by side. 1995 Die Partner TV crime series (ARD) Perhaps the most telling example is La Eta Knabino (1997), a 6-minute so-called “digital silent film 1994 Eurocops fable” shot and edited in the style of early cinema, but using late-1990s computer technology to TV series (ZDF, SF DRS, ORF) process the images.

  • Films Cultural Differences
    Thursday 25th, 2005 Cultural Differences in Dialogue Let’s break – Adil is leaving Adil geht, Germany 2005 Running time: 96’00” Director: Esther Gronenborn Screenplay: Esther Gronenborn, Martin Maurer Cast: Ali Biryar, Ahmedin Camdzic, Benjamin Berisha, Semsedin Berisha Camera: Christoph Valentien Editor: Daniela Kinateder Music: Christian Meyer Production: Enrico Demurray, DOKfilm; Cooky Ziesche, RBB Contact: [email protected] About the film: Adil, Jonni, Elvis and Idris are friends and had to leave Yugoslavia with their families a couple of years ago during the civil war. Now they live in Altenburg, a middle sized town in the east of Germany. They are tolerated refugees, but live in between two cultures and every minute they live in fear that they could be deported back to their $home countries. Together they practice for a huge break-dance competition,when they get the news, that Adils family has received the eviction order and has to go back to Kosovo. “Let’s break - Adil is leaving” is based on authentic experiences of young people coming from former Yugoslavia with whom the author of the screenplay, Martin Maurer had several talks while he was developing the screen play. The fact, that most of the cast consists of non-professional actors gives the film a realistic and authentic touch. Winner of the Main Prize “Fliegender Ochse” at the “Filmkunstfestival Schwerin”, 2005, Honorable Mention by the Jury of “Filmfestival Max Ophüls-Preis”, Saarbrücken 2005. About the director: Esther Gronenborn, born 1968, started filmmaking with 17 years, when she was directing her first experimental films. In 1988 she belonged to the founders of WAND 5, an organization which is responsible for the festival “Stuttgarter Filmwinter”.
