Life

Ernest Ansorge studied mechanical engineering, received his doctorate and worked as an engineer at Escher-Wyss in Zurich . Inspired by the work of Jiří Trnka , he and his wife Gisèle Ansorge (1923–1993) began to experiment with a Super 8 camera and animated puppets. Her first successes prompted her to set up as a self-employed film producer in Etagnières , but initially only lived on commissioned work, and Gisèle returned to her profession as a pharmacist. It was not until 1967 that they had success at the Festival d'Animation Annecy with their exclusively sand- animated film, Les Corbeaux . They subsequently produced ten short films. Ansorge's second film focus was at the Clinique psychiatrique universitaire de Lausanne , where he made films with long-term patients. In addition, there is an extensive bundle of commissioned work - reports, educational films, documentaries and also participation in television series for children. Since the late 1970s he has been organizing the film recording of oral historiography in French-speaking Switzerland. In the 1990s he had lectureships with the film students at the Lausanne art school . Ansorge was the founder of the Swiss group of the Association internationale du film d'animation in 1968 , was a member of the Federal Film Commission (EFiK) from 1977 to 1984 and was involved in the Swiss film archive .

Ansorge was active in various social sectors, he co-founded the Emmaus community in Etagnieres who was active in Brazil, as well as the umbrella organization and Works Agency for French-speaking Switzerland .
