"Behind every movie is a personal story and we find a way to tell it to the world."

Vanja Tognola

Born in 1994 in Mendrisio (Switzerland). In 1998, after intensive contact with film and television, he fell in love with the language of cinema. As it is an idiom that is intuitively understandable but difficult to speak, he decided to study film in 2016 to improve his film fluency. In 2021, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Film from the Zurich University of the Arts.


In 2022, his short film DANZAMATTA won the Bronze Egg Award at the 15th Küstendorf Film and Music Festival organised by Emir Kusturica. In the same year, his graduation short film TALPONI won the Best Comedy Award at LA Shorts and the NextGen Award at the Nashville Film Festival. In 2023 he founded his production company Typo Flims. Since 2023 he has also been working as an assistant editor at ZAS Film AG.
