Lionel BAIER
Lionel Baier is a Swiss producer and director, known for Vanity (2015), Continental Drift (South) (2022) and Stealth (2006). He made his first short film, Mignon à croquer, in 1999, but it was his first feature-length film, The Pastor’s (My Personal Vision of Things), a documentary about his father made in 2000 and broadcast on Télévision Suisse romande (TSR), that put him on the map.
Lionel Baier is also head of the Film Department at the Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL) from 2002 to 2021. Today, he is Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Cinémathèque suisse, a founding member, in 2009, of the Bande a part Films production company, alongside Ursula Meier, Frédéric Mermoud and Jean-Stéphane Bron, and a member of the Collectif 50/50.
