On the Wrong Foot

This is an award-winning short series (16 x 1’) which challenged the football knowledge of Swiss and French celebrities during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Among the thirty French-speaking public figures that are interviewed, there are football players, coaches, managing directors, but also former ministers, different types of women, TV celebrities, a priest, a top model, a lawyer and a child. In each episode opposing points of view collide around one single question concerning football. The opinions of the interviewees are then assembled in coherent, funny and visually sleek shortform videos. It is a cross-media project, which was published on the Web and broadcast on one of the Swiss public TV channels (RTS Un). The series was well received by an audience who were not necessarily all football fans.
