Louis Schwizgebel interprets Erlkönig, the film by his father at the ceremony of the festival d’Annecy 2017.
In the film a father rides through the dark forest with his son. The sick child thinks he sees the Erlking, who both charms and frightens him. Based on Goethe’s poem Erlkönig and the music of Schubert and Liszt.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Les Confessions
