I’m Jules Guarneri, a filmmaker based in Lausanne, Switzerland. I started with ski films and have worked as a director, cinematographer and editor on documentaries since 2014.
My work explores human stories, often unconventional and quirky, with a particular interest in personal approaches to storytelling.

Arrived from France, Olivier lives like Robinson on an island lent to him by indigenous people, 200 km from Yellowknife, the only town in the Canadian Northwest Territories. Three visitors disturb this solitude, by re-enacting, in front of Fisnik Maxville’s camera, the “drama” of the first contact, in which a historically constituted mutual mistrust surfaces.
