BA FILM STUDIES
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.
Following their difficult separation, Eliane and Laure have to repaint a wall of the house they are leaving, a wall as full of their own history as that of others before them.
Eliane and Laure, recently separated, are preparing to leave the apartment they shared. Eliane is packing her last boxes when she discovers dampness on the living room wall. Refusing to be solely responsible for the damage, she decides to call Laure for help. As the two women are forced to spend these last moments repainting the wall together, buried emotions resurface, marking the final steps toward their goodbye. Le Mur centers the "behind closed doors" question around a single object: a wall. Therefore, the actresses' performances and the set design almost single-handedly carry the narrative, making even the slightest interactions with the object more meaningful than any words.
