Locarno Spring Academy 2022
Born in 1997. Reto Gelshorn made his directorial debut in 2013 with A Family in Reverse, a self-produced short film awarded by RSI. Since then, he has devoted himself to the creation of audiovisual contents. 2015 he won the Migros Percentage Award with the documentary What Shepherds Know and Many People Ignore. From 201 to 2021 he attended CISA in Locarno, where he graduated as a Visual Designer and Filmmaker. He shoots numerous short films - both documentary and fiction - as a director and takes part in Swiss film productions.
I greatly admire Michelangelo Frammartino’s use of cinematic grammar and his view of the world. I feel close to his way of using the audiovisual to express himself. Taking part in this workshop means having the chance to grow, within the framework of what I like doing most, via an exchange with a great artist like Frammartino.
