From January 23 to 25, four Bachelor Media & Interaction Design diploma projects will be featured in the immersive section of the 2026 Solothurn Film Festival.
The 61st Solothurn Film Festival showcases four interactive projects from the Bachelor Media & Interaction Design, challenging how we perceive stories, space, and our digital lives.
In UnBubble, Thomas Gaudin lets a robot explore a user’s Instagram activity, questioning how our digital traces construct a fragmented image of ourselves — one that is then used to guide our choices, desires, and attention. Théo Déchanez ’s Vulcan takes visitors into volcanic landscapes, contrasting the close-up work of a volcanologist with the fascination of the immensity of natural forces. ESC, by Emma Grosu , explores the tension between control and constraint in virtual worlds, while What Lies Behind, by Odran Jobin , shifts perspectives in VR to navigate between the immense and the minuscule.
The festival also screens Always Wanted To Be God, Never Wanted to Do Good by Photography Bachelor alumni Marvin Merkel and Noa Epars, winners of the Award for Best Swiss Film 2025, presented by SUISSIMAGE and SSA (Société Suisse des Auteurs).
