#ZFFDaily 2014: DARK STAR - HR GIGER'S WORLD

Interview with Swiss documentary filmmaker Belinda Sallin about her new film DARK STAR - HR GIGER'S WORLD and about producing the film.

Giger is an Icon .. hugely influential in the Alternative Art Scene .. they should make a film of his life and loves!!

I wish it was on netflix

Cannot wait to see. Glad the someone took the time to try and get inside the head of the master.

When can we see this in the UK ? Why not distribute as a pay per view on the internet, even through YT ? I look forward to seeing it as I was planning a similar doc for the BBC in the 90s. However, it never happened tho I met Giger in Switzerland and we got on great. As you said, he was a very warm guy and I enjoyed my time with him. The art world is much poorer without him.

It is only now that we can see Ms Sallin's film on HRG in his native Switzerland, and not even in the regular movie program but only in an art movie house, this coming sunday at noon. Fits perfectly to the snobbish (and prudish-Zwinglian) Zurich art scene which has never taken him for the serious artist he was, constantly reducing him to the "Alien" movie. The Zurich Kunsthaus has never bothered to come up with an exhibit of his work, not even posthumously. I know that Giger suffered enormously from this setback by the established art scene.
