Leandre goes looking for a stranger named Tristan in order to give him some bad news about a mutual friend. However, when they meet, Leandre fails to deliver his message, which makes Tristan believe that they met by pure chance. He then puts Leandre to the test by making him collect signatures in the streets with him. As time,  goes by, Leandre and Tristan get to tame each other and look at each other. They form a bond, but the true nature of what links them to the same boy remains ambiguous.

Comment

It is with modesty and a certain elegance that Léonard Vuilleumier takes up the theme of mourning and desire. An Eros and Thanatos in the streets of Lausanne. A sweet labyrinth where men hide the truths, look for encounters, flirt with the unspoken, find peace in the flesh.

Léonard Vuilleumier fully committed himself to his theme by placing the actor at the center of his research, rethinking the rhythm and the filmic writing according to this character and his wandering.  It is with feverishness but determination and belief that he delivers with These streets will never look the same a film that looks like him. Necessarily.

Dorian Pangallo – Sublime Démocratie

by Dorian Pangallo

In an era where crises follow one another and justify a state of permanent exception, Sublime Democracy is a critical multimedia campaign portraying democracies stripped of their foundations, yet upheld by persistent symbols sustaining the illusion. Designed as a contemporary fable, the work draws on precise presidential speeches and polished visuals, integrating AI as the engine of a critical process where falsehood becomes language. By playing with the codes of power, it questions our habituation to fear, authority, and dominant narratives.

Video Clips – 2025

with Sami Benhadj

Music video projects created within the framework of the Sequence course supervised by Sami Benhadj. Each 2nd-year student in the Graphic Design, Media & Interaction Design & Photography Bachelor programs produced an individual music video. Taking an existing track as a starting point, every project sought to translate the music into images, exploring visual storytelling, rhythm, and staging. Students were encouraged to experiment and develop a creative and personal approach, resulting in original graphic worlds where sound and image resonate with one another.
