Fernand Melgar

Fernand Melgar

Né en 1961 dans une famille de syndicalistes espagnols exilés à Tanger au Maroc. Il accompagne clandestinement ses parents qui émigrent en Suisse en 1963 comme travailleurs saisonniers. Il participe à la fondation au début des années 80 le haut lieu de la culture underground de Suisse romande, Le Cabaret Orwell. Après y avoir programmé de la vidéo de création, il devient, en autodidacte, réalisateur et producteur indépendant. À partir de 1983, il bricole des films expérimentaux et des reportages iconoclastes pour la télévision. En 1985, il rejoint l’association Climage et y réalise une dizaine de documentaires, aujourd’hui films de référence sur les questions d’immigration et d’identité. Son documentaire précédent Exit – le droit de mourir a reçu plusieurs distinctions internationales dont le prestigieux Golden Link UER Award de la meilleure coproduction européenne et le Prix du Cinéma Suisse 2006. Lauréat du concours de scénario lancé par la Télévision Suisse Romande, il prépare actuellement sa première fiction, Loin derrière la montagne. Il vit et travaille à Lausanne.​
