Documentary Film Workshop with Marie-Eve Hildbrand - 2026
with Marie-Eve Hildbrand
The 2026 documentary film workshop for 1st year students was lead by swiss director Marie-Eve Hildbrand.
A young woman seeks to save her father's soul, guided by a blind man to a forbidden place.
Rémanence is a film that explores the dark fantasy genre, not for its folklore, but for the drama it allows. It seeks to question whether this language, often considered as too codified or caricatural, could be turned into poetic material. Rémanence tells the story of a young woman trying to bring her deceased father back to life by following a blind, marginalized man: the Cursed. Through him, the story looks at invisible sensations, a perception of the world shaped by sound, vibration, and silence. The film unfolds in landscapes that become mental territories rather than geographical ones. Rémanence is as much an experiment in genre, as it is a way of shaping an intimate voice, in a place where one usually expects the spectacular or the heroic.
