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.
In group strength-training classes, people breathe in unison every day. Charlyne lifts weights alongside three retired women who love to sing. What if a cheerful gym could be the place to break our family curses?
To ward off the curse of osteoporosis that hangs over the women in her family, Charlyne joins a gym frequented by older women who love to sing. From one burst of laughter to the next, they transform this ordinary place into a refuge that nurtures both body and mind. In their company, the filmmaker explores her relationship to her mother’s fragility, her fear of death, and the very idea of a family curse.
