On Sunday, May 13, 2018, Anja Kofmel’s directorial debut «Chris the Swiss» celebrated his long awaited world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is part of the «Semaine de la Critique» competition, the winners of which will be announced on 16 May.
The international press was impressed by Kofmels animated documentary:
«Kofmel’s emphasis on subjectivism can be seen in the use of near surreal symbolism.» Variety
«Her film is a thinking with hands.» Tagesanzeiger
«It's an exciting investigation, a reflection on the horrors of war, a thriller, an initiation journey, interspersed with animation sequences of a frightening beauty.» Télérama
«A fall into the depths of consciousness, a moral disorientation, given what Anja discovered and what we discover with her.» Quinlan
