Florine + Kim NÜESCH
The Nüesch Sisters are an award-winning directing duo based in London and Zurich. Their work spans short films, commercials, music videos, and fashion films. With their twin-like connection, Flo and Kim work in unison and communicate at times without words. They are virtually two brains pulling on the same creative rope. They strive to create films that delve into the essence of the human soul and challenge audiences. With their eye for detail, they revel in creating intricate worlds and stories to be lost in.
Throughout their childhood in Switzerland, their writer/painter mother and their architect father, encouraged them to practice their artistic and technical abilities. At the ages of nine and seven, Flo and Kim started writing, shooting and editing films together and never stopped. They sharpened their directing skills and found their unique visual style during their Bachelor Degree at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. They continued to live and work there after their graduation until 2020. Kim completed her studies with a Masters Degree in Screenwriting at London Film School in 2023.The duo has won multiple awards for their work, including silver at the Cannes Young Director Award for their short film Forget Me Not and the Jury Award for Fanomenon Short Film at the Leeds International Film Festival for their latest short film, Marriage Unplugged.
They have worked with clients such as Vogue, Tod’s, Audemars Piguet, Swiss Tourism, Die Mobiliar, and the Locarno Film Festival. Currently, they are finalizing two feature film screenplays. Meanwhile, Marriage Unplugged recently premiered and screened at the Cambridge Film Festival and the Leeds International Film Festival and continues its festival journey.
