Synopsis

Rey and Moretti are two undercover narc in the middle of a police operation in the swiss moutains of Vallais. It's during a routine operation that one of them will do a terrible mistake and together they will have to escape from this difficult situation. 

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.

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.
