At the 2025 Swiss Film Awards ceremony held on 21 March at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva, two ECAL graduates in Film were awarded major prizes. Congratulations to them!
Klaudia Reynicke , who graduated from the ECAL/HEAD Master in Film in 2010 and is a lecturer on the ECAL Master in Film, won the ‘Best Feature Film’ award for her film Reinas.
In 1992, while Peru was in the grip of political unrest, Lucia and Aurora were preparing to leave their country with their mother for a better life in America. But to leave, they needed their father to sign the consent papers. Carlos, who had practically disappeared from their lives, now decided to fight to get his two ‘queens’ back.
Mégane Brügger , who graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Film from ECAL in 2024, won the ‘Best Graduation Film’ award for her short film Maman danse.
