"... the creators of an original technique of animation using black quartz sand.... Born in 1925 in Lausanne, Ernest 'Nag' Ansorge moved to Etagnières with his wife Gisele in the late 1950s, where the couple established a film workshop specializing in newsreels for local cinemas. During the sixties Ansorge and Giselle made their first two sand animation films, Crows (1966) and Fantasmatic (1969). A co-founder of ASIFA Switzerland, Ernest Ansorge helped guide the organization both as secretary general and president for nearly 25 years. ASIFA Switzerland remains the only professional association for animation in the country. Following Giselle’s death, in 1993, Luc Plantier and Michel Froidevaux wrote a book about the couple, “Pris dans les sables mouvants” (“Captured In Drifting Sand”), which is published in French and English by Edition Centre International du Cinema d'Animation." - Animation World Network
