Fabrice Aragno
Fabrice Aragno is a Swiss director, editor, and cinematographer. A collaborator of Jean-Luc Godard since 2002, he has notably worked on Notre musique, Film Socialisme, Goodbye to Language, The Image Book, and the short film Les trois désastres. He graduated from the École cantonale d'art de Lausanne in 1998. After working in theater lighting and stage management, he directed several short films, including Dimanche, which was selected at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, Le Jeu (2003), and Autour de Claire (2010). In 2012, Radio Télévision Suisse (RTS) commissioned him to create a film about Jean-Luc Godard as part of a series of 10 films about Swiss directors. The resulting film, Quod Erat Demonstrandum, is a 26-minute montage of clips from the filmmaker's works. In 2021, he was awarded the Fondation vaudoise pour la culture’s Prix du rayonnement.
