A Flower in the Mouth

The production

The Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen was founded in 1985 as a non-profit producing and exhibiting platform for emerging practices in contemporary art. Today it can be described as the smallest of the larger institutions for contemporary art or – conversely – the largest of the smaller art museums in Switzerland. The Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen puts a peculiar focus on video and film based art, and was involved as producer or co-producer of feature films by Sven Augustijnen (Spectres, 2011), Dani Gal (As From Afar, 2013), and video-installations by Hassan Khan, Lawrence Abu Hamdan and Uriel Orlow.

Nurtured by energy, desire and a team bonded by a strong, almost-family spirit, Les films du Worso, created by Sylvie Pialat then joined by Benoît Quainon, has been working with directors from all over the world since 2005. The company has produced some forty feature films for the cinema, winning awards at numerous festivals and receiving more than ten César prizes, as well as a number of fiction and documentary films for television and some thirty short films.
