Georges Schwizgebel
Georges Schwizgebel (born September 28, 1944 in Reconvilier , Switzerland ) is an animation filmmaker who has won several awards for his work.
Life
Schwizgebel was born in 1944 in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. From 1960 to 1965 he studied in Geneva at the École des Beaux-Arts et des Arts Décoratifs . After working for an advertising agency, he founded the GDS-Studio in 1971 together with Claude Luyet and Daniel Suter, in which he created small animated films and was responsible for the graphic design of posters and advertising materials.
In 1983 Schwizgebel went to Fudan University in Shanghai for a year to study the Chinese language. Several exhibitions followed from 1986 to 1995, including in Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Tokyo, Osaka, Paris and New York. In 2002 he won the Swiss Film Prize for La jeune fille et les nuages . His animated film L'Homme sans ombre (The Man Without a Shadow) from 2004 received numerous awards.
Schwizgebel works without computer technology and mostly alone. He paints twelve pictures for one second of film material, which means that a six-minute film takes up to four years.
In 2018 he was appointed to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences , which awards the Oscars every year.
