About their life

Lazar Linsor Wechsler was a film producer of Polish and Austrian origin. He was the central figure of Swiss cinema during its early phase in the 1930s and its heyday in the 1940s. With Praesens-Film, founded in 1924, he heralded the early phase of Swiss film, which up to that point had produced a few individual productions, but no organized and continuous filmmaking.
