Heitere Fahne is an inclusive culture collective based Switzerland. In a house that functions as their home base in Bern, they organize a multitude of events and sponsor cultural happenings, from workshops to theater performances and concerts. In 2023, they celebrated their 10 year anniversary and went on tour throughout Switzerland.
They invited me to document their work as well as their in-house theater production, "Puff! Völliglosgelöst". Both of which I created a mini-documentary and a trailer for, respectively.
For the mini-documentary, I interviewed staff members of the Heitere Fahne, asking what the collective means for them ("Was bedeutet die Heitere Fahne für dich?"). I emphasized that their answer could be anything from a movement, to a full sentence - they were free to decide in which manner they wanted to respond to the question. Between the answers of the staff members, I spliced video recordings that I took from their tour around Switzerland.
