Comment
As a fan of genre cinema, I undertook the project of making a crime film that takes place in 1977. The narrative focuses on two narcotics officers who have committed murder. The short film is set in Valais. I sought to evoke 1970s American cinema through the western and film noir genres. I used these different “codes” to create my own cinematic universe and participate in the development of genre film in Switzerland.

“What is clearly conceived can be clearly expressed, and the words to say it come easily.” Nicholas Boileau, *L’art poétique*. As students embark on their final year of study at ECAL, with their interests and methods taking shape, this final project offers an opportunity to challenge their own rules, established practices and influences, to refuse to settle for the status quo and to take risks.

Unseen This course introduces students to the creation of a seven-image series built around the theme Unseen. They will learn to combine set design, characters, and lighting to produce strong, coherent staged images. Through a practical and technical approach, the course develops their ability to conceive and manage a complete photographic project, direct models, work with natural and artificial light, and collaborate under conditions similar to professional editorial or commercial shoots. Students will refine their photographic vision while preparing for the creative and technical demands of the industry.
