Michail Galanopoulos – The Parade (Direction) A day in the life of a group of high school students in Athens, Greece, during the day of the national military parade. Fiction / 24 min Synopsis A group of high school students meet to participate in the national parade with their school. A student, is bullied by the teacher because of her nationality. They react, defend her and the conflict becomes intense. To avoid the consequences, they decide to run away. They settle on the top of a nearby hill and spend the rest of the day there, as an act of escapism. Up there, they seem to have forgotten their anxieties and problems, as if they were in another world. Student s comment The film s cinematographic approach is anthropocentric and strongly focused on the characters of the story. The use of handheld camera allows us to follow multiple characters, not limiting the actors movements, but also giving them the freedom to experience the real locations in which they are filmed. The editing, with breaks in the axis several times in the duration of a scene, connecting several shots that depict the same action and pass from one character to another, was chosen specifically for this type of cinematography. The sound establishes continuity throughout each scene.
Leopold Helbich Frey – The Scent of Burning Time (Direction) Three people searching for a better future on an island are confronted with the climate catastrophe. Fiction / 25 min Synopsis Three people from different backgrounds escape to a Greek island and embark on a road trip in search for a better future. The journey confronts them with the effects of the climate crisis, and soon the question arises: where to go, when the earth is burning under your feet?
Matthias Joulaud – Ramboy (Direction) Ramboy is a 30-minute documentary short film, the result of work done with a family of sheep farmers on an Irish island. Being immersed for several months in this island allowed me to weave strong links and to offer a documentary which condenses at the same time problems related to the adolescence of a young boy, and to the hard social and economic reality of a trade whose traditions are under threat. Documentary / 30 min Synopsis On Achill Island, a predominantly sheep-populated island off the west coast of Ireland, Cian tries his best to train his grandfather s sheep dog, Martin. From an opening scene that shows the teenager struggling with disobedient animals and a patient but firm grandfather, the long and rigorous apprenticeship of farm work begins, during a summer he would have preferred to spend with his friends. Wearing a soccer jersey and city sneakers, Cian is confronted with the harshness and demands of a job that he admires and respects, but in which he is not sure he has a long term vision.
Valentina Shasivari – Mountain Flesh (Direction) The summer idyll is disturbed by recurring noises while a mountain village loses its foundations. Documentary / 18 min Synopsis Hikers pass by, while the village fountain gently sputters and the church bells ring out across the valley. But the idyll of summer is disturbed by recurring noises. Will the mountain come or not? As a mountain village loses its foundations, the crumbling becomes louder and louder.

Charlène Girel – Outside (Direction) It is raining in the park. Natacha and her son Eli are looking for a shelter for the night. Walter wanders alone with his guitar. Fiction / 23 mn Synopsis The rain wets the park where Eli is playing alone. Drops fall on Natacha s embarrassed face as she searches through her phone book for a solution. Not far away, Walter is wandering alone. The sound of his guitar travels up to the mother and child who are seeking shelter for the night. The hostility of the outside world, the fear of being left behind and an encounter, that of a mother and child who have recently become homeless with an outsider: for a moment, in all their modesty, they inspire us with a semblance of a blended family. An actress, a child, a bohemian. Unstable weather, a lot of improvisation and flexibility. A lesson in freedom, simplicity and letting go. For me, as for others, the experience of a project flirting with the documentary was like a powerful rite of passage.

Chute (Strangers), produced by ECAL and Golden Egg Productions In an anonymous city, a person collapses, pretending to lose consciousness. Strangers pass by, others embrace him.

Lucas Rubio Martinez – Europa (direction) Pedro, working in Switzerland, must take one cow to the slaughterhouse at the same time his mother dies in Spain. lucadelfresno@gmail.com Ficiton / 26mn Synopsis Pedro, a Spanish worker, lives far from the world on his employer s farm in Switzerland. His mother is in hospital in Spain. Before leaving he has to do one last job: take one of his boss s cows, Europa, to the slaughterhouse.

Student s Statement This film tells the story of the mourning of a Spanish man in Switzerland while his mother dies in Spain. The news arrives as he is leading one of his boss cows to the slaughterhouse. After he hears about his mother, the destiny of this cow, Europa, is modified by Pedro s story. The two of them begin a journey whose fate is more emotional than physical. The aim of this project is to address the invisible stories of these people who travel through a country that is not their own and who have no one to understand and listen to them.
Sarah Rathgeb – Stray (direction) Joana has just moved in with her boyfriend and her dog Boris. This is an important step in their relationship, a life-changing step.In their new apartment they have everything they need for their future together: except a mattress. sarah.rathgeb@hotmail.com Fiction / 17min Synopsis Joana (30) has just moved in with her boyfriend Timo and their dog Boris. It s an important step in a relationship, a life-changing step. In their new apartmentthey have everything they need: exept a matress. Joana decides to go out and buy one. Confronted with the choice of a new mattress, doubts arise. Joana is no longer sure what she really wants. She begins to have doubts about her decision, her relationship and the world around her. Moments later, she s sitting in the delivery truck with her dog and Antonio, the mattress salesman. Joana doesn t seem to be in a hurry to get home. As it turns out, Antonio doesn t seem to be in a hurry either. He also finds himself facing a major change in his life. His mattress shop is about to close and his future also seems to be full of doubts and uncertainties. Little by little, both of them realize the similarities of their situation. They both find themselves at a point in their lives where they don t know what to do. But if they don t know what to do or where they want to go, one thing unites them, following the dog s example, they will follow their instincts. Student s statement The universe depicted in the film is an absurd one that reveals how we can feel like strangers in the world we live in. We feel humankind s constant plight, torn between hope and despair. The characters run away from all their problems in their own way and avoid getting involved in other people s problems. Existential crises are a central theme of our time. Nowadays, there is constant doubt about the possibility of establishing any meaningful relationship with the world around us.

La découverte des films d archives de ma grand-mère me permet d explorer les regards filmiques des femmes de ma famille et de partir à la recherche de ce qui façonne leur vie à l échelle la plus intime. Director s statement After discovering my grandmother s home movies I sought to explore the filmic outlook of the women in my family and find out what shaped their lives on the most intimate scale. I assisted Monique as she began sorting out her whole life, her objects as well as her memories. Images of the past blended with those of her present daily life as I filmed in 16mm what I hoped to keep from her. The film anchors the presences that flow from my grandmother to her world. Together, we address family transmission, gender constructs and motherhood.

Santiago Chacón – Ecce homo (direction) Juan Antonio finds his father who is back home after a long absence. There, during the preparation of the most important religious festival of the city : the Ecce homo; father and son go to share in solitude, their hatreds for each other. santichacon91@gmail.com Fiction / 14min Synopsis José visits the main church in the city of Popayán, Colombia. The faithful prepare the most important celebration of the Catholic tradition of this place: the procession of the Ecce homo. After his visit, José returns home to his father, Juan Antonio who is back after a long absence. Life brings them together again, but something burns in him. Juan Antonio, a man of brute strength, no longer has the physical strength that accompanied him throughout his life. He and José, who grew up under his strong and conservative authority, will confront each other and let themselves be led by love and hate. During this meeting, José will allow himself for the first time to participate in the procession of the Ecce homo, which his father always forbade him to go to because the celebration is only for men and for Juan Antonio he is not a real man. Student s Commentaire Ecce Homo has gone through me deeply. From its conception, the project questioned me about my life, my ancestors and the city where I come from. It also questioned me about the way I relate to my family, to those around me; it made me understand with love their thoughts, but it also confronted them, opposed them and finally healed them. I want to make films to understand myself and the things around me and, from this understanding, make films as a way of healing, a remedy.
Rodrigo Muñoz – Tarmac (direction) Wednesdays after school Inès meets Julien on the train. The other passengers watch them.

Coline Confort – Imperial (direction) At dawn, a cannon shatters the silence. The horses gallop across the beaten ground. Eva, 21, wants to join the Imperial HorseGuards, a historical reenactment of a Napoleonic regiment reserved for men. Documentary / 22 min Synopsis At dawn, a cannon shatters the silence. The horses gallop across the beaten ground. Eva, 21, wants to join the Imperial HorseGuards, a historical reenactment of a Napoleonic regiment reserved for men. In search of romance, she conceals her identity so that she can set her foot in the stirrup //(climb into the saddle), defying a 200-year-old ban. In this world of powder and smoke, Eva finally finds herself as she had always dreamed: ‘a handsome soldier beside a beautiful princess. Comment There are films that take a long time to be found, others that are born of an obviousness. One cannot say which is preferable. One cannot tell by looking at a film if its trajectory was eventful or peaceful. What counts is its impact on the present and the trace it leaves. Imperial has known versions of the script very different from the finished film. But these variants have nourished Coline s reflection, and this documentary carries within it all the others that were not made. Like layers. As if it had taken all these detours to finally manage to tell us a simple story, one of those that always thrill us, a story of desire and love. We can notice the great maturity in the management of the duration of the shots, the beauty of the frames and the attention given to the light. The almost feverish look at her character, while at the same time a great determination in the way she accompanies her. Eva s trajectory is simple and fluid in its accomplishment, and this simplicity (so difficult to achieve) is movingly beautiful. As can be the look of Eva on a young girl who is enough to put "a little glitter in her life". Laurent Larivière / Director

Fanny-Laure Bovet – Comme dans un film « A place where images were not enough and words were redundant. I went on a spiritual and physical journey into the past, the present and perhaps the future too, with my family. It was a rollercoaster ride. It was difficult to get to the end because the end had happened before I started. Comme dans un film is a short film about language. How we communicate with each other or don t. Your language defines how you interact with others, how others interact with you. »
A film from ECAL won a Student Oscar "Bonobo", Zoel Aeschbacher s Bachelor Film diploma, won the 2019 Student Academy Awards (Narrative - International Film Schools) - the Oscars for students - presented on October 17th at the Academy s Samuel Goldwyn Theater Beverly Hills This film has been pre-selected amongst 1615 short films and has won the Gold medal in the Narrative – International Film Schools category, given on the occasion of these exclusive student Oscars. Thanks to this award, the film becomes eligible for Oscars also awarded by the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in February 2020. Produced by ECAL and Nouvelle Tribu, Bonobo s summary by Zoel Aeschbacher is as follows: Félix, Ana and Seydoux live in the same social housing without knowing each other. The three characters seem linked by one and only element: the building s dilapidated elevator, an infernal machine leading them to an inescapable tragic destiny. Released in 2017, this film has already received numerous awards, including the Audience Award at the International Short Film Festival in Clermont-Ferrand, the Up Coming Award at the Soothurner Filmtagel, the Spirit Award for Short Narrative at the Brooklyn International Film Festival and the Best Fiction Short at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
