Dr. Jeanine Reutemann lives out her insatiable curiosity at the intersection of science and film, where she elucidates film as alternative, but equally valid language for the scientific endeavor. With a background in film, education and media sciences (with a Ph.D. on "Science, Film and Media Design"), she’s leading the multidisciplinary EduMedia team at ETH Zürich.
From 2017-2019, she was a researcher at the Centre for Innovation, Leiden University in the Netherlands. In parallel, Jeanine did co-create between 2012-2021 various research videos and documentaries, addressing global challenges, inequalities and sustainability. Media projects for e.g.: ETH Zurich; research for development (SNF); Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences (SCNAT); Bundesamt für Raumentwicklung; University of Zurich; WSL; EPFL Lausanne; ZHAW; Oxford University; Ludwig-Maximillians University Munich, University Osnabrück. WWF/COOP & Southpole Carbon; Novartis; Department of Culture Basel City; PRO7/Sat1; Short Film Agency Hamburg in cooperation with Federal Foundation for Culture of Germany and ZDF/ARTE.
#passions: incredible curiosity; boundary spanning; the power of the audiovisual; visualizing the invisible; inquiring trust in the audiovisual; challenging environments; camera as a weapon
against inequalities; revolutionizing publication formats;
#elexieroflife: piano; vegetable and herbal gardening; rubiks cubes; yoga (iyengar, ashtanga, vinyasa); longboarding; party scenography; techno; urban fantasy literature; gaming;
Note: Video-based formats are my main research publication contributions and I see them as
equal to text-based papers. Text-based publications always come second in my "audiovisual language" approach towards knowledge production, transformation and
dissemination.

Science Film: The Himalayan Wolf
Narration, Edit, Postproduction in collaboration with Geraldine Werhahn, about her research project
of an old lineage of wolves in the high-altitude ecosystems of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan wolf has been roaming the vast landscapes of Central Asia for more than 800 thousand years.
Genetically this wolf lineage is distinct from the Grey wolf found across Europe and North America.
The Himalayan wolf population, although currently little understood, appears to be decreasing.
Wolves get persecuted by humans in reta- liation for livestock depredation which is a main driver of
human-wolf conflict. Community based insurance schemes for livestock depredation can bring
financial relief to herders that suffer animal losses. 2017.
