There is also fresh blood behind the camera in the new Swiss ‘Tatort’. After the premiere of “Züri brännt”, “Schoggilänke” (today SRF 1, starting at 20:05) was again directed by Viviane Andereggen (35) from Zurich. Crime is a genre that he especially likes. “Each case is a challenge. The question is: where are the most important moments of tension, how can expectations be maintained as long as possible and then broken?
The young filmmaker explains the appeal of on-screen crime as follows: “Suspense, action and guessing who the perpetrator is, that has always been fascinating, whether with Agatha Christie or Sherlock Holmes. When resolution comes to the end, it makes things easier. “Andereggen is happy to be sitting in the director’s chair for the first two episodes.” It’s exciting to start from scratch and bring your own vision of this new world to the table. ”
Joy of counting
For her, directing is about the joy of storytelling. He heard this from his grandparents: “They were Hungarian Jews and they experienced the Holocaust. I remember their stories well. “With her appearance, Andereggen would probably have had opportunities as an actress as well. But she was less interested in that:” You have to follow what makes you happy and get an answer. ”
“Schoggilänke” takes up a Swiss cliché that was deliberately chosen. Andereggen plays with him. “It is not primarily about chocolate, but about the issue of wealth and the dependencies that arise from it.” For them, a reflection of Switzerland, where there is a lot of prosperity in a very small space, but also people on the margins of society.
From punk to director
Andereggen is always on fire when it comes to social issues, including the first episode “Züri brännt”. There the investigations led to the turbulent Zurich of the 1980s, which she knows well. “I was a punk at a young age, wore a bright red mohawk, and co-founded the WAF (World Anarchs Forum, editor’s note), a counter-forum to the WEF in Davos.” It is important for her to ask critical questions and look at things from different angles. “Allowing yourself to feel uncomfortable,” he calls it.
Important opportunity for women
That probably paved her way to the director’s chair, still a male domain: “More than half of our training courses are women. It is important that they have the opportunity to work afterward. “After studying filmmaking in Hamburg, he debuted his first film ‘Simon Says Goodbye to His Foreskin’, a Jewish comedy that attracted a lot of attention. With his ZDF police thriller” Rufmord “he won several awards and was nominated three times for the German Television Award and the Grimme Award Most recently, her young detective adventure was “The Three !!!” seen in the cinema.
