Louis Mouchet (born 25 March 1957) is a Swiss independent film-maker born in Geneva, Switzerland.
Louis Mouchet spent his early childhood in Tunisia, where his parents went to teach after the country's independence. "It was and still is a lost paradise."
After studying literature at the University of Geneva, Louis Mouchet graduated from the London International Film School in 1983. His first professional job was an assignment for the Red Cross. This led to a successful collaboration that continues to this day. It has been extended to other humanitarian and international organizations.
His first documentary was the result of a proposal from François Simon's widow to co-direct a film about the legendary actor. This first step led Louis Mouchet to write and direct many film and television documentaries.
