ECAL's Cinema department welcomes Franco-Swiss director Ursula Meier for a lecture moderated by director Anouk Chambaz.
French-Swiss director Ursula Meier is co-founder of the Bande à Part production company in Lausanne, alongside Lionel Baier, Jean-Stéphane Bron and Frédéric Mermoud. A graduate of the Institut des Arts de Diffusion (IAD) in Belgium, she quickly made a name for herself with her graduation short Le songe d'Isaac (1994). The director alternates between fiction and documentary. Tous à table (2001) won over 20 awards and was screened at over 80 international festivals. Home (2008), her first feature film, was presented at Cannes, nominated for a César and won the Swiss Film Prize for Best Fiction Film, before L'enfant d'en haut (2012) won the Silver Bear at the Berlinale. Journal de ma tête (2018) is also selected for the Berlinale. Ursula Meier wins further awards at the Swiss Film Prize 2023 with The Line.
