Lausanne Area, Svizzera

I'm one of the editors/critics based in the Lausanne area. In addition to reviewing films on a regular basis (usually at least once a week), I also conduct interviews with visiting filmmakers and/or actors, and cover film festivals on a national and international level. Festivals I've covered for Clap include Berlin, Locarno, Venice, Zurich, Fribourg, Neuchatel, Visions du Réel (Nyon) and Night Visions (Helsinki).

Locarno

I worked as part of the editorial team of the Locarno Daily, the Festival's official daily publication (print and online). I contributed to the print and online editions with articles about the films screened at the Festival, and translations from French or Italian to English of other people's contributions. From 2018 to 2023, I also conducted video interviews with festival guests. From December 2017 to August 2018, I served as the official translator (Italian to English) of the Artistic Director's blog on the Festival website. I also worked as a translator (French/Italian to English) on the official catalogue (June 2018 - July 2023), and from October 2018 to August 2023 I was the primary translator for press releases and other news items (Italian to English).

Helsinki

I had various tasks, primarily in connection with the screening/film programming department. I attended meetings to choose which films to screen at the Orion cinema, and was encouraged to make my own suggestions, especially for the "Film of the month" series (four screenings of a film that does not have distribution in Finland). I updated the Institute's website, primarily by translating certain sections in English and/or French, and also updated Orion's Facebook page, usually posting up to three items a week in relation to various screenings. I also participated in the digital transfer of certain volumes of "Suomen kansallisfilmografia", specifically contributing to the online version of the "Filming locations" section for various entries. In addition, I contributed to the making of the weekly program posters for screenings at Orion and wrote introductory texts for certain films. These texts were subsequently made available at Orion prior to the relevant screening and on the Institute's website.

I was part of a group of people with the assignment to call first-year UNIL students and have them answer a set of questions in relation to a survey about their first few months of university experience.
