Resurgence Video realised by Emilie Maier during the 3D Graphics course led by Kylan Luginbühl. This video interprets the theme PAST/FUTURE. A direct confrontation of two time spaces by their temporalities and their dimensions. Project realised during the 1st year Bachelor Media & Interaction Design.
Soft Power Under the direction of Christophe Guberan, the students used their design talents to rethink an everyday object that consumes more energy than it should, using their powers of observation to choose a type of contemporary object that consumes energy and reduce its dependence on energy during use. Design as a discipline of innovation, can play a key role in improving the energy impact of a product. The intensive use of energy resources that were thought to be unlimited, such as electricity, is now being called into question. The current situation is all the more alarming: governments are preparing for possible energy shortages (fossil fuels, electricity, etc.). It is in this worrying context that design has a duty to provide a concrete response to future needs while respecting the use of our resources.
DEDON BY NATURE: NEW COLLECTION IN COLLABORATION WITH ECAL In collaboration with DEDON, acclaimed designer Sabine Marcelis and Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship students present DEDON by Nature: Lighting the Future, an innovative digital exhibition of a nature-inspired light concepts collection. To be discovered on studio.dedon.de Under the direction of Sabine Marcelis, acclaimed New Zealand designer, and Nicolas Le Moigne, head of Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship, the students imagined, designed and developed an inspiring series of light concepts that resulted from an exploratory reflection on our relationship with nature through design. Nine months of work have resulted in a collection that is as elegant as it is committed; a collection that attests to the creative powers of an emerging generation and the enduring attraction of nature to us all.

L or bleu,20.01–28.02.2023,Docks, Lausanne From January 20 to February 28, 2023, Les Docks in Lausanne will host the exhibition L or bleu, a project realized by the students of the Foundation Year - Photography Option at ECAL. Opening : Thursday, January 19 at 6:30 pm. This project developed by students in Foundation Year - Photography at ECAL, under the direction of photographer Nicolas Haeni, invites us to question the symbolism of water. Since the dawn of time, this blue gold has intrigued and inspired, giving rise to interpretations which, even today, and perhaps even more than ever, inhabit literature, fine arts and performing arts. Based on the quote by astrophysicist Hubert Reeves "AT THE COSMIC SCALE, LIQUID WATER IS RARER THAN GOLD", the young photographers propose their personal and individual vision, exploring different fields of photography: still life, portrait, architecture or staging.

So how can we live better – 2023 Beyond questions of functionality, comfort and individual or collective well-being, the built environment is able to respond in a stimulating way to societal, energy and environmental challenges. The work space, the living space, the public space, the interior space, the street, are carried by real statements of intent that motivate their forms, following certain principles such as climate transition, densification, ecology and energy transition.... The 2nd year Graphic Design students worked on the production of a communication based on one of these principles (or others) and on the architectural realization which refers to it in order to promote it. A ZANG MEYONG Edition Through this object, my mother was able to transmit to me the complexity of memories as an immigrant in a country that is not her own. With the help of archival photos, archival texts, and her actual words translating letters received from my grandfather, I immersed myself in the transmission of memories between my grandfather, my mother, and me, using her memories as a pivot of transmission between the past and the future. By Midi Minuit Edition & Animation The goal of the project is to tell a story through my filmed experiences and my thoughts written on paper, recomposed to tell a personal story of a woman who dares to appropriate the urban space, despite the innate fear she feels within herself. The visual part and the writing complement each other, the filmed part being an immersion in her skin, where the viewer travels the city through her point of view. The editing acts as subtitles to the video. It reflects her thoughts, feelings and interactions, the poetry of moments of solitude, of contemplation through the act of strolling. By DSE Edition DSE is a book about prisons, one of the most controversial environments in our justice system. They are supposed to be places where criminals are punished and rehabilitated, but they are often criticized for their overcrowding, lack of resources, and inhumane conditions of confinement. By VELVET FLOWERS Edition Velvet flowers questions the different feelings that abandoned places can evoke. When reading the work, a nostalgia settles in, then it s the turn of anxiety and uneasiness. We can feel different traces and imprints left by entities, human or not. The experience is transcribed through silver photographs, pages of dense texts and fragments of the place. The feeling of déjà vu submits us to a question of temporality that cannot be defied and questions the fact that we are never in the right traces. By SITTERWERK CATALOGUE Edition Umberto Eco said: "The most important function of a library is to help the reader discover books that he or she did not know existed and that turn out to be of great importance to him or her. In the Sitterwerk library in St. Gallen, books are put down as they please and temporary collections are created. Sometimes unrelated books are placed together on the same shelf. By eliminating all classifications, we leave room for the unexpected. Searching for a particular book is no longer the main objective, it is the experience of the place that takes precedence. This object follows a reflection around the book, taking as subjects of experiment a selection of 100 publications with as criterion of selection their format which must be between an A4 and an A3. The books were taken from the catalog of the Sitterwerk library. By

Willy Guhl - Thinking with Your Hands,09.12.2022–26.03.2023,Museum für Gestaltung Zürich From December 9, 2022 to March 26, 2023, Bachelor Industrial Design students will take part in the exhibition Willy Guhl - Thinking with Your Hands at the Museum für Gestaltung in Zürich, which invites the pulbic to rediscover the creations of the famous Swiss designer. A true icon of Swiss design, Willy Guhl and his teaching methods have left their mark on generations of designers. The exhibition Willy Guhl - Thinking with your hands offers a rediscovery of his global creation through a practice-oriented approach. Students in Willy Guhl s class regularly designed toys to be sold at the school s bazaar. Puzzles, figurines or games of skill were made in the school s wood workshops. The future designers thus followed a process that went from concept to design, including the realization and packaging of the product. This approach is also fundamental to Bachelor Industrial Design program at ECAL. In collaboration with the museum and under the direction of the designer Adrien Rovero, the students in their second semester developed wooden games that encourage to think with the hands and to physically experience Guhl s aesthetic thinking.DATE AND SCHEDULEDecember 9, 2022 - March 26, 2023 Tuesday - Sunday: 10am to 5pm Thursday: 10am to 8pmOPENINGThursday, December 8, 2022, 7pmVENUEMuseum für Gestaltung Ausstellungsstrasse 60, 8005 Zürich museum-gestaltung.chSTUDENTS, , , UNDER THE DIRECTION OFHEAD OF PROGRAMMEASSISTANTS,
STRAPPAZZON+ECAL Workshop with Strappazzon With the aim of broadening the horizons of graphic design students beyond the media traditionally explored during their training, Sebastian Stappazzon, co-founder of AVNIER – one of today s hottest streetwear brands launched in collaboration with French rapper OrelSan – runs a week-long workshop at ECAL. From the proposals imagined by the students, a capsule collection was born, produced in a limited edition. The entire collection will be presented and on sale at an exclusive event on 15 December 2023 at La Rasude in Lausanne. Under his direction, and with the support of Guy Meldem and the assistance of Inès Barrionuevo, we invited students to work on the creation of a complete outfit, including a cap, tracksuit, t-shirt and socks. In the course of this collaboration, the idea of developing a joint capsule collection between his eponymous brand STRAPPAZZON and ECAL emerged naturally. This initiative enabled Bachelor Graphic Design students to delve into the world of streetwear, learn about textile printing techniques and immerse themselves in a constantly evolving creative sector. The proposals imagined by the students were then carefully selected to create a coherent, surprising capsule collection, perfectly reflecting the zeitgeist. The collection will be produced in a limited edition and will go on sale shortly. The entire collection will be presented and on sale at an event in Lausanne, Switzerland, in early December 2023. REVERSIBLE JACKET 1020 & PANT 1020 are the first pieces in this exclusive collection and are available for pre-order until midnight on Monday, September 25, 2023.

The students had to make very short films of two to three minutes that could be broadcast on the newspaper s website and social networks. Heïdi News asked the Ecal film department to create ten films based on a series of articles on the theme of food. The students had to make very short films of two to three minutes that could be broadcast on the newspaper s website and social networks. To reach readers/viewers on cell phones, the films had to be made in a vertical format and had to be able to capture attention from the first few seconds. The students all proposed an original treatment of the information and a singular form: several animation projects, a dystopian fiction, a purely graphic film, a documentary or a film edited only from archives. Each in their own way, these films experiment with a way of shedding additional light on the journalistic text without seeking to paraphrase it.

Official launch of the Marsotto LAB collection,21.10–23.12.2022,SPBH Space, Milan From 21 October to 23 December 2022, ECAL and more specifically the students of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship will unveil the result of their latest collaboration with the Italian brand Marsotto LAB and officially launch the collection of the same name, composed of a selection of accessories created between 2018 and today through collaborations with international designers. Following the growing success of Marsotto Edizioni, the Italian marble company now presents Marsotto LAB, a new platform geared towards the production of accessories imagined by young designers and students from art and design schools. Since the creation of this platform, the family company has called on ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne and more specifically on the students of the Masters of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship to work on a collection of everyday objects. These various collaborations, led successively by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, French designer Pierre Charpin, and Slovakian designer Tomáš Král, have resulted in the production of clocks and other home accessories with shapes that are as elegant as they are sculptural. Although several pieces have already been exhibited around the world, the aim of this exhibition is to showcase the result of the latest collaboration with ECAL and to officially launch the Marsotto LAB collection by presenting a selection of accessories that are now available for sale. Based on a scenographic concept imagined by Swiss designer Charlotte Therre, these objects come to life, displayed on marble furniture produced by the family company.STUDENTS, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , VENUEShowroom Marsotto Largo Claudio Treves 2 20121 Milan — ItalieHEAD OF PROGRAMMECOLLABORATIONMarsotto LABDATESDu 23 octobre au 21 décembre 2022UNDER THE DIRECTION OF, ,
ECAL × JEAN PAUL GAULTIER: Under Your Smell The exhibition Under Your Smell offers a hypnotic and immersive experience in Jean Paul Gaultier s headquarters by imagining new definitions of beauty and body expression. Under the direction of Florence Tétier and Nicolas Coulomb, 3rd year Bachelor Photography students brought to life the brand s iconic perfumes through an immersive photographic experience. In the first season, with the complicity of Claude Emmanuelle Gajan Maull, the young photographers have fluidified the iconic bottles with their gendered silhouettes — Le Mâle, Le Classique, Le Beau and La Belle — in a fresh LGBTQIA+ perspective. With this upcoming season, the project evolves around the Scandal fragrance, with the creation of still lives in which the liquid, dry and organic contrasting textures evoke the essence of the perfume, its bottle design and its complexities. Through staging, the perfumes become the backdrop for stories of transgression and fantastical projections. In addition to monumental fabric prints, giant image-cushions welcome the public to lay down and celebrate gender fluidity and the ever changing definitions of beauty and self expression.

Widely considered to be among the leading art and design institutions themselves, the ECAL approached internationally renowned designers, critics, and writers, whose answers reveal multiple approaches to teaching, in which individual style is not only encouraged, but rigorously pushed to develop into its most coherent professional form. Curated by acclaimed designer Jonathan Olivares and ECAL Director Alexis Georgacopoulos, the exhibition surveys a selection of twenty groundbreaking and defining projects by students and their tutors, all of them made out of fascinating teaching methods, leading to unconventional objects and revealed by a creative methodology in action, readily molding to accommodate the needs of the future. The exhibition shows a selection of these iconic projects and retraces their design process through a historical context. In other words, it challenges the question “How to best teach design today?”. A question that Max Bill and Ettore Sottsass tried to answer in 1983 in the context of the Design Since 1945 exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Their answer? Each gave a response that reflected his own image: the first emphasized the pragmatism and practicality of design. The second, its utopian and metaphorical character. These two lines of thought are found at the heart of the exhibition through its scenography: from the eccentric and colorful glass material to the functional and straightforward wooden structure, the exhibition answers the question in itself: there is not one but many best ways to teach design today. Beside the exhibition, the findings are also presented in a publication, published by Phaidon and edited by Jonathan Olivares et Alexis Georgacopoulos.
COLLABORATION WITH DEDON 2022 LIGHTING THE FUTUR Dedon by nature An initiative of DEDON Studio, Lighting the Future presents a striking array of nature-inspired light concepts by master stu- dents from the prestigious ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne. This innovative digital exhibition opens in January 2023 exclusively on DEDON channels, including a dedicated microsite enhanced by AR tools. DEDON Studio initiated the ECAL collaboration with a challenge to students in the Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship Masters program: Explore our relation to nature through lighting design, drawing inspiration from DEDON s groundbreaking fiber. Under the supervision of the acclaimed designer Sabine Marcelis and Nicolas Le Moigne, head of the program, students designed, developed and digitally elaborated their concepts over a nine- month period. The results—beautiful, beguiling, thoughtful and engaging—attest to the creative powers of an emerging genera- tion and the enduring attraction of nature to us all.
Preparing the upcoming generation to go beyond models, to improve practices, and to raise professional standards has always been the ambition of teachers. However, putting students in a position to solve problems caused by the modes of production and consumption that have prevailed for several decades is a real challenge. It is a challenge that requires a rigorous reflexive look at training progr…

ON 2040 - MASTER PRODUCT DESIGN Following a collaboration with the Swiss avant-garde brand On, ECAL is proud to present the interdisciplinary work carried out jointly by the 2nd year students of the Product Design, Photography and Type Design Masters. Under the direction of Christophe Guberan, guest designer of the MA in Product Design and with the support of Thilo Alex Brunner, head of design at On, 7 students present elaborate prototypes exploring the possibilities offered by innovative materials, techniques, and creative processes. A resolutely prospective approach that relies on speculative design to think the sole of tomorrow. In 2010 On created a new running shoe sole with a disruptive approach: CloudTec®. Built around a set of “flexible elements”, On soles ensure cushioned landing and propulsive take-off for a unique running sensation. This design has since been adopted by running enthusiasts and professionals alike. Nowadays, the search for new materials and technologies encourages the brand to explore the future of soles. It is in this perspective that the collaboration between two leading entities in the Swiss design scene – ECAL and On – was born.HOW TO CREATE THE SENSATION OF EFFORTLESS FLOATING DURING THE RUN? Thanks to new multi-material 3D printing techniques, this shoe sole concept offers the possibility to customize material densities across the entire sole. Each Shoe can therefore be precisely adapted to each runner. By HOW TO MAKE A WOVEN SHOE SOLE ? Playing with new possibilities of 3D weaving, this shoe sole concept could be produced in one part allowing for both customizable cushioning and efficient production. By REIMAGINING THE CARBONPLATE FOR RUNNING SHOES Pushing the expression of a shoe sole to its limits, this carbon fiber rod sole plays with the elasticity and the resistance of this highly technical material to create a good cushioning and to minimize weight. By HOW TO CREATE THE SENSATION OF EFFORTLESS FLOATING DURING THE RUN? Inspired by the feeling of jumping on a trampoline, this shoe sole is composed of two elements: a customizable elastic web and a hollow EVA sole. This new construction offers a new running dynamic. By HOW TO CREATE AN ADAPTIVE SOLE? Composed of recycled TPU, this concept shoe sole is designed to bio-mimic the fin-ray effect whilst being produced by traditional extrusion process. By HOW TO PRODUCE SOLES WITHOUT MOULDS? 3D printing technologies are offering various new possibilities to the footwear industry; however, processes are often limited by slow production cycles. Instead, this concept uses a heat inflating 3D printed foam to allow for postprinting expansion, making production more efficient and feasible whilst benefiting from the free design constraint possibilities of 3D printing.

ON 2040 - MASTER TYPE DESIGN Following a collaboration with the Swiss avant-garde brand On, ECAL is proud to present the interdisciplinary work carried out jointly by the 2nd year students of the Product Design, Photography and Type Design Masters. Under the direction of Larissa Kasper, artistic director invited by the MA in Type Design, 14 students question the construction of written language, and explore its futuristic developments, both alphabetical and ideographic. For On, they offer a new writing system, which will accompany the sole of the future.In 2010 On created a new running shoe sole with a disruptive approach: CloudTec®. Built around a set of “flexible elements”, On soles ensure cushioned landing and propulsive take-off for a unique running sensation. This design has since been adopted by running enthusiasts and professionals alike. Nowadays, the search for new materials and technologies encourages the brand to explore the future of soles. It is in this perspective that the collaboration between two leading entities in the Swiss design scene – ECAL and On – was born.Searching for an answer to what type of writing system could be readable for a machine in the distant future, this abstract typeface is based on a circular 5-channel encoding system, working similarly to linear punchcards. There are 25 punch combinations in the 5-channel type system, meaning 32 places to encode letters, which can host the basic Latin alphabet. Visually, the typeface was inspired by cuneiform writing, which uses the stylus on clay tablets to punch ‘holes in the material. This aesthetic has been warped into signifying a punch on a few of the 5 places and providing each character with a unique combination of digits and forms. By The concept of this dystopian writing system is inspired by the artwork The Garden of Earthly Delights (1490-1510) by Hieronymus Bosch and its tripartite structure. The Trinity takes the main role and divides the static skeleton vertically into 3 sections: Positive, Neutral, Negative; Birth, Life, Death; The Garden of Eden, The Garden of Delights and Hell. Round, angular and diagonal capital letters of the Latin alphabet are arranged in categories. With the help of 3 defined basic shapes: circle, square and line, the characters are constructed on its defined skeleton. Altogether, the writing system consists of 24 characters – the manuscript was painted analogue with black ink on translucent paper and emphasizes the dystopian character. By Between typography and pictogram, our design is evolving. Inspired by the geometric forms already present in the On logotype, we have rationalized to the extreme the concept of a refined and methodical graphic system. By a new problematic of the coded language, associated with contemporary technologies, a completely modular encrypted typography was drawn. The pictograms and letters are composed by a very simple system of curves and lines which evolve and are assembled on a square grid, divided in 4. The only rule being that the forms cannot be superimposed the ones on the others. The script is programmed under Python language, allowing to generate and to exhaust the whole of the possible ones, that is to say 624 pictograms only composed of curves, having to represent the sport, the movement and always assembled within the same grid. By , Over the course of our time, language and communication will evolve in such a way that current writing systems no longer suffice. While there will still be translation methods for older systems still known to us, the writing system of the future will free itself from present rules and conventions and organically evolve into something exceedingly more complex. By The blob is a mysterious unicellular slim mold creature growing into networks. Famous for its supposed immortality, it has also been showing signs of learning capabilities. After many years of scientific studies and stimulation, it is finally able to communicate with us in 2040. By using a morpheme-based system, the blob can express complex ideas with its web-like growths. As seen in this transcription (to be read clockwise), each tentacle and intersections represent a basic concept which is then extrapolated into sentences and finally a full text. By New proposal for sending out a message to the future about ON 20(40). This new form of constructed language and writing system is inspired by the thermal-transfer printing technics. This digital printing method is used when fast and higher durability of printed matter (especially against heat) is desired. This « New Alphabet » offers a set of uppercase characters, as well as numbers and has been developed during the one-week workshop. By In the far future, human beings will communicate in whole new ways, we will understand the world around us in a much more complex way. The two-dimensional way of reading will be slowly replaced by three-dimensional holograms, capable of giving us a faster prediction of what is written. Based on the Spatial reasoning IQ tests exercises, this new writing system helps the reader draw conclusions about shapes based on limited information. Each face of the regular polyhedron will have a unique symbol on it (letter) and the Platonic solid will represent the complexity of the entire word. Holograms are a perfect solution when we don t want our communication to be framed on a surface, but with this system, we could still write on psychical objects by simply unfolding the polyhedron into a 2D Pattern. By Over the course of our time, language and communication will evolve in such a way that current writing systems no longer suffice. While there will still be translation methods for older systems still known to us, the writing system of the future will free itself from present rules and conventions and organically evolve into something exceedingly more complex. By In order to create a “new alphabet” that could potentially store knowledge about ON 2040(0) and transmit it into the future, I developed a constructed writing system consisting of two different styles. Both styles are built on the same basis. While the more organic style has a line system for better differentiation of the individual “characters”, the restrained one has a subtle feature consisting of different stroke lengths on the edges. Despite the technical appearance, the two styles enable a visual structure of the content into different information levels, which should help decrypt the message in the future. By Klaudz is designed to visually represent speech sounds in a written form by means of symbols. The script is based on a so-called phonetic transcription, whose basic principle is that it is applicable to all languages. Since its symbols denote the same phonetic properties, they break away from a language-bound orthography. Thinking of 2040, when internationality and the spoken language are gaining more importance, it is obvious to explore the forms of expression of an alternative phonetic script. The shapes of the letters derive from an underlying grid (the IPA vowel table), which in turn corresponds to the positions of the vowels resulting from the physical position of a speaker s tongue when pronouncing those sounds. There is a round and a non-round version of each. The consonants are integrated into the script according to their groupings as diacritical marks. By
ECAL×On : interdisciplinary collaboration to rethink the brand s universe Following a collaboration with the Swiss avant-garde brand On, ECAL is proud to present the interdisciplinary work carried out jointly by the 2nd year students of the Product Design, Photography and Type Design Masters. In 2010 On created a new running shoe sole with a disruptive approach: CloudTec®. Built around a set of “flexible elements”, On soles ensure cushioned landing and propulsive take-off for a unique running sensation. This design has since been adopted by running enthusiasts and professionals alike. Nowadays, the search for new materials and technologies encourages the brand to explore the future of soles. It is in this perspective that the collaboration between two leading entities in the Swiss design scene – ECAL and On – was born. Through a transversal approach to innovation, 26 students on a Master s programme at ECAL have developed a series of futuristic prototypes, rethinking the brand s universe, and exploring new writing systems. The interdisciplinary project brings together three Master s programmes: MA in Product Design, MA in Photography and MA in Type Design. Each year, these specializations attract students from all over the world.Product Design Under the direction of Christophe Guberan, guest designer of the MA in Product Design and with the support of Thilo Alex Brunner, head of design at On, 7 students present elaborate prototypes exploring the possibilities offered by innovative materials, techniques, and creative processes. A resolutely prospective approach that relies on speculative design to think the sole of tomorrow. Photography Under the guidance of the photographer Maxime Guyon, 8 students have given shape to what On s visual universe could be in the future. In close collaboration with the MA in Product Design, they present the universe and visual identity of the sole of 2040. Type Design Under the direction of Larissa Kasper, artistic director invited by the MA in Type Design, 11 students question the construction of written language, and explore its futuristic developments, both alphabetical and ideographic.

Three ECAL diploma projects win the James Dyson Award 2022 (Swiss) Three ECAL graduates - Yoosung Kim in Master Product Design, Anaïs Lehmann and Lucie Herter in Bachelor Industrial Design - have won the James Dyson Award 2022 for their diploma projects. Zest – – Master Product Design Zest is a tailor-made solution for people with cerebral palsy. It is a model of sports shoes adapted to the motor skills of its users. Made using knitting and 3D printing technology, it can be adapted to any person with motor disorders and allows the creation of customised shoes that meet specific needs. A project made possible thanks to the collaboration of professional athletes with cerebral palsy and a test in the laboratory of the Swiss sports brand On. Line – – Bachelor Industrial Design Line is a 100% natural alternative to the plastic mulching films and sheets that are omnipresent in agriculture and horticulture. This innovative project aims at solving the problem of plastic micro-particles in market gardening and thus reducing soil pollution. Made from linseed oil-treated flax, Line is a highly resistant film that does not release any chemical microparticles into the soil. Its woven strip systems make it very flexible for use in a variety of plantings. R2Home – – Bachelor Industrial Design While 2 000 radiosondes are sent into the atmosphere every day to collect meteorological data, only 20% of them are found. R2Home, a paragliding robot, makes it possible to control the landing of radiosondes and thus minimise economic losses and environmental pollution. Its recyclable materials such as expanded polypropylene protect it from cold, rain and falls. R2Home is a project resulting from the collaboration between Lucie Herter, a student in the Industrial Bachelor s programme at ECAL, and Yohan Hadji, a student in micro-engineering at the École polytechnique de Lausanne (EPFL).

Flavio Visalli – Forde Mustang "And if a double-decker bus crashes into us To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die." I was looking at these hills of wheat that reminded me of distant landscapes. Those that the wind outlines during stormy nights. The black anvil is freed from its weight and becomes sensitive to blows. I was thinking about your message, it reminded me of the howling sound of a V12. Carbon fibre, oak and acrylic paint
Olivia Calcaterra – The wonderful pain of the wild Broom (Direction) In the desert of southern Spain, a film designed to bring together animal and human emotions through the trauma of abandonment. Documentary / 22 min Synopsis In the desert of southern Spain, a film designed to bring together animal and human emotions through the trauma of abandonment. Comment Having gone in search of stray and abandoned Spanish greyhounds in Almeria, I decided to address the theme of abandonment through a documentary focusing on the introspection of emotions linked to this trauma. Inspired by Leopardi s poem about resilience, I sought to bring together human and canine feelings in the experience of being abandoned by someone. The urge to make a documentary came after my first documentary last year. I wanted to try to give the project an aesthetic sense linked to fiction, to have two contrasting worlds in the film. The film is accompanied by a narrative voice, which is not didactic, in order to unite the reportage side with a more photogenic and experimental aspect. Olivia Calcaterra
Yan Ciszewski – The great disappointement (Screenplay) Two women come down from the top of a mountain, following a great disappointment. Fiction / 16 35 min Synopsis On the top of a mountain, Claire is standing still, waiting, focused. Louise, a mountain guide who accompanies her, makes her understand that it s time to go home. Disappointed, Claire accepts, and the two women start to go down the mountain, as the day fades out. In a mystical mountain, where people go to seek the ghosts of their past, Claire and Louise will make some peculiar encounters. Student s comment After the loss of her twin sister, Claire goes to the mountains where they grew up with a specific goal: to find her ghost. Accompanied by Louise, a withdrawn and secretive mountain guide, she embarks on an arduous, several-days long walk. Soon enough, Claire understands that she is not the only one grieving. The mountain confronts the women with their respective ghosts and inner demons. For my degree, I wrote a feature-length script and directed a short movie based on that same script. The story of the short is slightly different, but it shares the same setting and atmosphere. This short provides a hint of what the feature-length will look like. Between family drama and ghost story, the film plays with the codes of different genres. Yan Ciszewski
Pierre Daendliker – Drifting Away (Photography) For my end-of-study work, I had to design the photography for a graduation film. Fiction / 13 30 min Synopsis A young caregiver reverts to a fantasy world to cope with the grief of losing her mother and to escape from the drudgery of the care home where she works. Student s comment For my end-of-study work, I had to design the photography for a graduation film. Preparing for the shoot entailed long discussions about the narration and the aesthetics of the short film. We opted for static shots composed like paintings. We aimed to minimise cuts to accentuate the character s drift through space. I sought to work with soft, white lights in the style of Roy Anderson s films, one of our main references, as well as the films of Abel & Gordon. We shot everything in real settings, which was a challenge in finding the best solutions to light large areas. I also worked upstream on the contrast/colour curve by creating my shooting LUTS. Pierre Daendliker
Laurine Joyeux – Les mouches de Beni (Script supervisor) As a script supervisor, I worked with the director on her film, from the writing stage to the shooting. Fiction / 20 min Synopsis One evening, Beni, a young woman, meets her 65 year old neighbour Gégé. The two women become friends and Beni invites Gégé to discover her world through a surprising adventure. The birth of their cross-generational friendship will shed light on the complexity of bipolarity, a disorder from which Beni suffers. Music unites them and strengthens the core of their friendship. Student s comment As a script supervisor, I worked with a director on her film, from the writing stage to the shooting. I was involved right from the preparation stage, setting the timings. This first task helps detect the first inconsistencies in a scenario and to raise general questions about the rhythm. My priority on the set was to supervise the script, which is my main working tool, and to ensure that the intentions of each scene were respected. I monitored the film s continuity both in terms of the story s development and the acting. Another important function in my work was to anticipate the editing process, the aim being that at the final viewing, the story is as coherent as possible, which involves writing reports and gathering important notes for the editor. Laurine Joyeux
Alice Denyse – Les mouches de Beni (Direction) Beni, a young woman with bipolar disorder, forms a musical friendship with her 65-year-old neighbour Gégé. Fiction / 20 min Synopsis One evening, Beni, a young woman, meets her 65 year old neighbour Gégé. The two women become friends and Beni invites Gégé to discover her world through a surprising adventure. The birth of their cross-generational friendship will shed light on the complexity of bipolarity, a disorder from which Beni suffers. Music unites them and strengthens the core of their friendship. Student s comment Beni, a young woman with bipolar disorder, befriends her next-door neighbour, Gégé, a 65-year-old woman with a passion for her gospel choir. Bipolarity is a subject that touches me personally, since my grandmother Denyse, after whom I am named, was bipolar. In order to better understand this illness, I met people with bipolar disorder who helped me clarify the point of view developed in my film. This also helped me understand the importance of female solidarity for the people concerned. This is why I wanted to portray a relationship between two women where mutual care and support are essential. A colourful film to reflect Beni s vision: I wanted the viewer to identify with her. Alice Denyse Matthey
Solène Mercier – Les mouches de Beni (Photography) For my degree, I did the photography of the short film Les mouches de Beni, directed by Alice-Denyse Matthey. Fiction / 20 min Synopsis One evening, Beni, a young woman, meets her 65 year old neighbour Gégé. The two women become friends and Beni invites Gégé to discover her world through a surprising adventure. The birth of their cross-generational friendship will shed light on the complexity of bipolarity, a disorder from which Beni suffers. Music unites them and strengthens the core of their friendship. Student s comment For my degree, I did the photography of the short film Les mouches de Beni, directed by Alice-Denyse Matthey. This dramatic comedy tells the story of a young bipolar woman, Beni, who befriends her next-door neighbour, Gégé. A friendship grows between the two women, for better or for worse. Aesthetically, the work of lighting and framing depended on the interiority of the main character. To express her bipolarity, we went from a colourful and pop aesthetic to something darker and more subdued, to mark the transition from euphoria to depression. This light creation and the variations of frames create a unique style for a unique character and film. Solène Mercier
Marion Reymond – Drifiting away (Direction) A young caregiver uses her imagination to cope with the mourning of her mother and to escape from the nursing home where she works. Fiction / 13 30 min Synopsis A young caregiver reverts to a fantasy world to cope with the grief of losing her mother and to escape from the drudgery of the care home where she works. Student s comment Drifting Away (A la dérive) is based on a desire to film a place that is crowded, in this case a nursing home, with the aim of exploring group effects. The tone of the film plays with situational comedy and questions the meaning of existence and death between shots. One of the particularities of the film is that it mixes mediums, between live action and animated sequences. Drifting Away is defined as a sound and poetic film. Marion Reymond
Loris Theurillat – The wonderful pain of the wild Broom (Photography) Strongly attracted to cinematography in documentaries, I did the photography for Olivia Calcaterra s short documentary film for her degree.

Dario Willommet – Spiders in the heart (Photography) My diploma project consisted in accompanying the production of a short fiction film as a cinematographer. I was in charge of the camera and the lighting on the set. Fiction / 19 min Short film directed by Céline Dondennaz, photography by Dario Willomet Synopsis In a decadent city in the near future, Alwyn is faced with a dilemma: should she stay in this urban environment that is becoming increasingly hostile, or leave to take refuge in the community where Valery, her ex-boyfriend lives? The previous night he had touched her while she was asleep, so, he is now also a threat. Commentaire My diploma project consisted in accompanying the production of a short fiction film as a cinematographer. I was in charge of the camera and the lighting on the set. This short film, which I framed and lit, is directed by Céline Dondénaz. This film is about a woman who finds herself in her apartment to solve a dilemma, accompanied by an artificial intelligence. She should flee the decadent city besieged by the last survivors to take refuge in a community village founded by her ex, Valery. But after one night when he touches her without consent, all her plans are disrupted. Dario Willomet
Manon Vouga – Sensitive Binaries The concept of quality of life is used to measure the well-being of the population. It consists of nine interdependent dimensions, relating to material living conditions as well as to the subjective notion of quality of life. This first print edition highlights each dimension by illustrating them through these different indicators, thereby providing information and points of comparison between each partner cities in the form of data series covering most aspects relating to living conditions.

Masen Al-Saghir – Jabal Jabal is a collection of plastic-free, repairable and recyclable mountain jackets. It consists of a jacket and a down jacket. The fastening has been redesigned with a fold system, without zips. It also allows the width of the jacket to be adjusted according to the number of layers worn. Jabal is made entirely of durable materials: high-density woven cotton, waxed cords and aluminium fasteners. The seams are heat-sealed with natural adhesive. The down jacket is filled with milkweed, a plant that is as light as feather but twice as insulating. No chemicals or watering are required for its production. The materials can be separated for easy recycling. Resin-impregnated patches are provided to repair snags.
Fanny Bichet – Gassy Let us consider time as a tool. In a space-time, a series of events, phenomena and transformations take place. Consuming seasonal products means respecting the natural life cycle of agricultural products. Fermentation is a preservation process that improves the nutrients of fruits and vegetables over time while developing an umami taste. This project consists of a series of three jars for lacto-fermentation. The shape and function refers to the hourglass. In one direction, liquid and solid combine: fermentation is in progress. In the other, they are separated for easy serving. Accompanied by a booklet with ten recipes, it is used following a seasonal cycle to prolong and enhance our pleasure when consuming our favourite products.
Yann Cistac – Desalinated Water Shower This public shower, located on the beach, uses desalinated water, which is pumped directly from the sea. The desalination system, powered by solar energy, produces 60L of clear water per hour. The base houses a metal casing that protects all the components. Once desalinated, the water is stored in a 1000L tank. A press on the tap triggers a 10-second flow. The aim of this project is to popularise the principle of desalination by introducing it into our daily lives. The exhibition of the elements helps showcase the system to the public.
