[x]TRUDI GERSTER - The Queen of Fairy Tales
documentary
Year of production: 2009
Trudi Gerster and the art of story telling
Trudi
Gerster (*1919), the story-teller of our childhood, has long been
ennobled and appointed the queen of fairytales. Today she casts her
spell already over the fourth generation of children. In the German
speaking part of Switzerland, this lady represents radio history like
no one else. A pioneer of the audio book, she has brought her stories
to children for over 65 years, in doing so rekindling many memories of
childhood for parents too. The film shows Trudi Gerster as the author
of her stories, even if they are based on someone elseÂ’s texts. She
forms her stories as a director, actor, dramatic advisor, stage
designer, costume designer and make-up artist. So her stories have drawn much
on her life experiences, her character and imagination.
