Minna Prader

Minna Prader grew up between Paris and Graubünden, studied philosophy in France and Germany, worked at Films Pelléas, and finally entered the scriptwriting master's programme at ECAL-HEAD. After completing her studies, she trained as a casting director for Swiss and French series, shorts and feature films. She is also a coach, supporting non-actors both before and during filming. She sees casting as both a dramaturgical and political practice. These experiences feed deeply into her writing. After directing the short film ‘Avant 3 Nuits’ produced by Superstructure (NIFFF 2022), she is now working on the short film ‘La Vocation’, co-produced by Paraiso and Marmotte Productions.
