I am an experienced video journalist passionate about making complex topics accessible and engaging through compelling multimedia storytelling. Focused on social and environmental issues, I produce various video formats on a wide range of topics, specialising in impactful explainer videos with motion graphics and stop-motion animation. During my studies in cinema, English literature and journalism, I’ve gained experience in radio, television, and print across Switzerland. After working with the Locarno Film Festival’s image & sound team, I joined SWI swissinfo.ch in 2018 to produce local and international reportages.

Turning the Limmat river green, organising picnics on bridges, blocking busy roads: climate activists from the Swiss chapter of the Extinction Rebellion group have been ramping up the number of civil disobedience actions undertaken in recent months. Why? Anaïs Tilquin, a member of the group, explains.⁠
