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
Morgane Cachin – Points de vue How can one see an image without the sense of sight? The Points de vue project features a photographic exhibition catalogue adapted to blind people. The catalogue includes different descriptive stages of the photographs as well as enlargements giving access to the details of the images. The use of Braille and raised images enables blind people to understand the photographs in the exhibition. This project is intended to be a sensory experience for both sighted and blind people. Audio guides accompany the descriptions to allow for complete inclusiveness. This project is a collaboration with the Images Vevey festival, for their upcoming exhibition Together – La vie ensemble which will take place at L Appartement.
Paolo Moretti appointed head of the ECAL Cinema Department As of September 1, 2022, Paolo Moretti will become the new head of the Cinema Department at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne. Director and programmer of festivals, notably of the Quinzaine des réalisateurs at the Cannes Film Festival, Paolo Moretti will take over the responsibility of the Cinema Department of ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne in September 2022. He will succeed Pauline Gygax as head of the Bachelor Cinema program and Lionel Baier for the Master Cinema program (co-directed by HEAD Geneva). "I am above all very grateful to ECAL for offering me this opportunity. I am excited to continue the work initiated by Lionel Baier, then Pauline Gygax and to confront myself with a new dimension of the transmission of the codes and languages of contemporary cinema", says Paolo Moretti. After studying modern literature, between 2001 and 2008, Paolo Moretti worked for several film festivals and institutions in Europe, including the Centre Pompidou, the Filmoteca Española, the Cinemateca Portuguesa, the Leeds Film Festival and Cinéma du Réel. From 2008 to 2011, he was assistant to the director and programming advisor at the Venice Film Festival. In 2012 and 2013, he is a programming advisor for the Rome Film Festival (CinemaXXI). Since 2012, he has been collaborating with the Visions du Réel festival (Nyon), first as a member of the selection committee (2012-2017), then as an artistic advisor. From 2012 to 2018, he is also a member of the selection committee of FIDMarseille. He is the associate producer of the American independent feature film L for Leisure by Lev Kalman and Whitney Horn, presented at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 2014. Between 2014 and 2020, he works as a director of the La Roche-sur-Yon International Film Festival and of the art house cinema Le Concorde. Between 2018 and 2022, he is the general delegate of the Quinzaine des réalisateurs at the Cannes Film Festival. Since 2020, he has been the director of the art house cinema Les Cinémas du Grütli in Geneva, where he will be able to continue to carry out his mission in conjunction with ECAL, thanks to a redistribution of tasks, notably administrative, of the Geneva institution. "Paolo Moretti has an exceptional network and a rich and varied international experience, punctuated by numerous successes. Through his desire to constantly highlight the films of young talent, he has established himself over time as a valuable and privileged interlocutor for filmmakers and the industry. I am sure that his approach as an outstanding facilitator will suit our students perfectly and will lead them to progress even further and to surpass themselves", says Alexis Georgacopoulos, ECAL Director. For the Bachelor Cinema program, Paolo Moretti will replace Pauline Gygax - who will keep a part of her teaching at ECAL, but will concentrate primarily on her activity as a producer, the intensity of which obliges her to reduce her workload within the Cinema Department. As for Lionel Baier, co-director of the Master Cinema program, he will continue his career as a director, while also maintaining a teaching schedule at the Lausanne school. ECAL would like to take this opportunity to thank them for all their work and for having contributed to the fact that its film courses are considered among the best internationally.

Margot Sparkes (born in 1993 in Paris) is an independent artist, photographer and video maker who graduated from the ECAL/Ecole cantonale d art de Lausanne (2020). She lives and works in Lausanne.

Recently, her diploma work At Night There is No Sun has been included in the collection of the FRAC Poitou-Charentes (France).

7 TYPES OF AMBIGUITY — A PARADE by Arto Lindsay,05–25.05.2022,Cinema Studio, ECAL Arto Lindsay is an American artist, guitarist, singer and composer living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A genius of noise with collaboration as his main method, he has been working since the early 2000s on the carnival parade as a gigantic musical instrument. No one can predict in advance what will come out of it, with its mixture of unity and partiality, euphoria and frustration, performance art and celebration. The installation presented at the ECAL proposes an original development of his previous street parades. With a group of musicians from the bloco Afros of Salvador de Bahia, students in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program and programmer Stefan Brunner, Lindsay overturns his own conventions of the parade: inside the ECAL s Studio Cinema, the public can walk through a spiral of loudspeakers broadcasting both the realistic recordings of the percussionists and their thousand distant, confused, probable reflections. Opening 04.05.22, 6-8pm Dates 05.05-25.05.22 Free access Opening hours Tuesday to Friday, 16h-19h Or by appointment : 7types@ecal.ch Location ECAL – Cinema Studio Av. du Temple 5, 1020 Renens www.visioncreationnewsound.ch In the framework of the research project Phantom Power conducted at the ECAL and with the support of the Réseau de Compétences Design & Arts Visuels de la HES-SO.

Exhibition "Time Design" with ECAL,14.04–08.05.2022,Pont de la Machine, Geneva On the occasion of the "Time Design" exhibition organised by Watches and Culture - Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie and presented from 14 April to 8 May 2022 at the Pont de la Machine in Geneva, students from ECAL Bachelor of Industrial Design programme have created the display (windows), highlighting a hundred pieces that illustrate the inventiveness and diversity of watch design. Presented as a preview at the Watches and Wonders exhibition for the specialists, the exhibition is now accessible to the general public in the Pont de la Machine in Geneva. Over nearly 180 m2, visitors are taken on a journey through watchmaking creativity, from the 17th century to the present day. The display designed by Elie Fazel and Valentin Sieber - during a course given by Christian Spiess as part of the Bachelor s degree in Industrial Design - reveal a hundred or so exceptional pieces that have marked the history of the watch, bearing witness to this great watchmaking tradition or to a futuristic design. The display windows as well as some pieces of furniture imagined by the two former ECAL students are inspired by the urban grid pattern characteristic of La Chaux-de-Fonds, the cradle of watchmaking. Each module is based on the same construction of thermo-lacquered aluminum gratings. In addition, ECAL has also made a selection of a hundred watch advertisements from the archives of Europastar magazine, which was published from 1940 to 2000. These are presented on a dedicated screen within the exhibition.

It questions “youth” as a conceptual, aesthetic, and political figure born with modernity in the visual arts, popular culture, and the humanities. At the same time, this project proposes to examine the implications of the problematic category of “youth” in contemporary art and thought. By exploring the processes in which youth is constituted through its forms of representation, this project intends to render intelligible the aesthetic and political dimensions of youth, and to grasp it as a historical allegory allowing for a reconsideration of the contemporary in the light of its most lively site. 9am Welcome coffee 9.30am Welcome, Stéphanie Moisdon Introduction, Philippe Azoury and Vincent Normand 10am Representing Youth / Experiencing It.

HOW SOON IS NOW? HISTORIES AND FIGURES OF YOUTH Symposium : HOW SOON IS NOW? HISTORIES AND FIGURES OF YOUTH This symposium is the first stage of the research project How Soon Is Now? Histories and Figures of Youth. It questions “youth” as a conceptual, aesthetic, andpolitical figure born with modernity in the visual arts, popular culture, and the humanities. At the same time, this project proposes to examine the implications ofthe problematic category of "youth" in contemporary art and thought. By exploring the processes in which youth is constituted through its forms of representation, thisproject intends to render intelligible the aesthetic and political dimensions of youth, and to grasp it as a historical allegory allowing for a reconsideration of thecontemporary in the light of its most lively site. What image(s) does the notion of youth carry with it? What idea does it have of itself? How can we talk about it beyond ingrained ideas and the fantasies that society projects on it (at least in Western culture), making it simultaneously a force, a market, an age, a culture, a piece of a history which which we only began writing inthe twentieth-century, and which today has reached its critical stage? In recent history, the notion of youth has so often been conflated with “bringing down the house” that we now expect everything from it: to reinvent us, to shake us up, to carry us, to succeed in what others have failed at (establishing the most open communities possible), to build bridges for the future, to be radical, to be uncompromising where anyone outside of youth has already given up, to be desirable where others are overwhelmed. But with what means? If not those that young people make themselves, for themselves, with elements that they alone will have chosen? With their culture, their places, their clandestinity. Because that which is not yet over happens in the shadows of the world. Youth is a secret. “How Soon Is Now?”, The Smiths once asked. When is it, now? 9.30am Welcome, Stéphanie Moisdon Introduction, Philippe Azoury and Vincent Normand 10am Ludivine Bantigny : Representing Youth / Experiencing It.

A Historical Perspective The representations, discourses and other obsessions about "youth" often say less about young people than about the authorities that forge them: politicians, institutions, media, artists... In themselves, these representations are interesting: they express anxieties, doubts and hopes, but also strong opinions, sometimes peremptory visions that often translate fantasies. In such a landscape, cinema in particular is an excellent medium when it projects its lights and cameras on youth. It is these ways of telling the story of youth that this presentation addresses. But it does not stop there. For beyond the representations, what remains the most fascinating are the modalities of socialization that young people know and come across, in all their diversity. In this sense, this presentation will also question the relationship to time, historicity as an awareness of taking part in history and situating oneself in it, age identities, and generational belonging. Agnès Gayraud "Will You Love Me When I m Sixty Four?" Pop Music as an Art of Ages Folklore has long been interpreted as the "childhood of art", a form of expression invented by popular classes and considered as the living vestige of humanity s childhood. From its outset, recorded folk music has been appreciated as a form of "primaverism", the conviction that things in their prime are the most valuable, that authenticity stems not only from the origin but from the beginning. A recording fixes individual voices and their organic idiosyncrasies at the moment of their expression, and in so doing, it captures the aura of a primitive past. The fixed expressivity of recorded voices represents countless individual incarnations, and this has made pop music the most powerful musical art form to bear witness to all ages of life, not just childhood or youth. Rather than associating pop music with a particular stage of life, with a phase of inexperience (innocence, naivety, regression or youth), it is tempting to question its rooting in the expression of ages in general. Contemporary musicians such as Angèle, Oklou, and Arca accurately represent post-adolescence, sexual maturity, and the pleasure of finally flirting with the pornographic category of "adult" content, all while reflecting on youthism, contemporary ageism, and sexist domination. Here, individual embodiment takes as its theme its own situated expression. In contrast to these younger artists, Bob Dylan sang later in his life,"It s not dark yet but it s getting there". This priority given to the expression of individuality at various ages (one s body, one s sexuality, one s race, which make sense only by situating a generation in terms of someone s legal and physiological age), is what binds deeply popular recorded music to what the history of western musical art has at some point thought to have overcome during the 20th century: the romantic confidence in situated individualities, in particular incarnations, in singularities. In the contemporary artistic field, reflexive forms of art only recognize their historical age. Individual age is not a key to understanding the content of their gesture, one deciphers it rather in light of their epoch. Popular music, to the contrary, presents itself as a musical art powerfully carried by the expressiveness of the ages, even if it means sometimes to render eternal a youth whose legal status as such proceeds from the whole liberal system. Persis Bekkering The Rave Continuum. Researching Plot and Politics of "Europe s Last Youth Culture" As much as any experience fails to be adequately grasped by language, the experience of the rave presents the storyteller with a specific, intriguing challenge. As the narrator in Rainald Goetz experimental novel Rave (1998) remembers: "It was the wordless time, when we were always looking around with our big eyes so strangely in every possible situation, shaking our heads, and could almost never say anything but: speechless – pf –" The rave, at its best, is a wordless suspension of time; a limit experience; an event blurring linear understandings of time and space, proposing its own logic. As music theorist Simon Reynolds once quoted the (unbelievably perfect) shouts of an MC at a hardcore party: We ve lost the plot . What does this mean if one tries to translate the rave into narrative? How to grasp its thwarted, warped, halted temporality? For her last novel Exces, part of which is published in English as the novella Last Utopia, writer Persis Bekkering has attempted to find an answer to these problems. The questions of narrative structure and temporality of the rave may look like purely formal ones, but they are closely tied to bigger, historical or even philosophical questions: how to understand the rave and the emergence of rave culture, at the end of the 1980s, in its time? Why did it emerge at that peculiar historical moment, when the end of history and telos of progress was famously declared, utopian ideologies lost their claim, and capitalism entered a new phase? And what did the rave propose to it: resistance or acceleration? Maybe both? In her presentation, Bekkering takes us through a meandering journey along her ongoing artistic and literary research, sharing images, texts, fragments and shouts in the dark, from her archive. Throughout the various parts and fragments, one can hear the constant drone of the search for the aesthetic expression of the permanent presence of crisis in our time. Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel About Bébé Colère Screening of the film followed by a round table discussion. For more than ten years now, Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel have been weaving together a body of work that has no equivalent within French cinema. Whether through their first feature film Jessica forever (2018), or through their numerous short and medium-length films, (Martin pleure, 2017; Notre héritage, 2015; or Tant qu il nous restera des fusils à pompe, 2014, which won the Golden Bear at the 2014 Berlin International Film Festival), they follow the destiny of their own generation (they are both less than 35 years old). This is a generation which feeds on heroism through the virtual, a generation that met porn before love and online violence before friendship, a generation for which the video game is its lost paradise. Yet they draw from it, and this is their strength, a form of romanticism, which never wants to believe in the end of emotions. Their lyricism is unprecedented because it comes after: after the images, after the clichés, after the disillusionment, after they have been told that “no, really, sorry, there is nothing left to expect from anything, everything has been played out”. In the spring of 2020, when the earth had just come to a halt due to the Covid pandemic, Jonathan and Caroline retreated to Corsica where they dreamed of an unseen body that escaped from a video game: Bébé Colère [Baby Anger]. Bébé Colère denies his parents, Bébé Colère has no friends, Bébé Colère vomits the world and feeds on emptiness. In 13 minutes, Bébé Colère is an irreducible work that paints a portrait of a 2.0 youth caught in disarray. A post-human body, which has denied its origins and only sees the future through the features of an avatar. Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel will discuss the possibility of romanticism today, and the conditions that allow them to invent new characters, generating their own disordered chronology. They will also talk about their aesthetic relationship with video games: the baby in Bébé Colère is a pre-programmed asset purchased online to be animated and then integrated into the film. In close collaboration with Lucien Krampf, they are also currently developing a project conceived inside a game engine. In their work, they consider the game as a new narrative track while also using pre-existing elements. The conversation will take place in French. — Ludivine Bantigny is a historian, teacher and researcher attached to the Laboratory of History of the University of Rouen-Normandy.

ECAL Conference: Joan Fontcuberta,23.03.2022,IKEA Auditorium, ECAL ECAL Conference: Joan Fontcuberta – Visual artist & photographer, Barcelona. Joan Fontcuberta Visual artist & photographer, Barcelona Wednesday 23 March 2022 at 6pm IKEA auditorium, ECAL As part of a workshop with the students of the Bachelor Photography programme of ECAL. In addition to his work as a visual artist oriented towards the field of photography, Joan Fontcuberta (born in Barcelona in 1955) develops a plural activity as a teacher, critic, curator and historian. Through the manipulation of the photographic image, he questions the effects of reality and the capacity of truth produced by the technological image. In a logic of denunciation of authoritarian discourses in the context of information, he dismantles, through different series - Herbarium, Fauna, Sputnik, Les Sirènes de Digne, Miracles et cie... - the language specific to the disciplines of science, information and other vectors of knowledge. In his latest projects, he is interested in the nature and function of the image in digital culture. Visiting professor at institutions such as Harvard or Le Fresnoy, he has written numerous essays, including Le boîtier de Pandore, Spanish National Prize for Literature - essay category in 2011. He has also had solo exhibitions at MoMA (New York), MIT (Cambridge - USA), the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris) and the Science Museum (London). Many of his works are in public collections such as the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), the Met (New York), the National Gallery of Art (Ottawa) or the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid).

What s The Prompt? During a week workshop given by Cyril Diagne, second year students explored the integration of machine learning tools in their creative process. By limiting the coding step in favour of using the concept of Prompt they experimented with Diffusion Models such as GPT3, Clip or DALL-E to create texts, images and videos. Comparing the way our brain seems to make our dreams and the way some AI models work, Elina Crespi used some Diffusion Model to represent her dreams. DREAMS Comparing the way our brain seems to make our dreams and the way some AI models work, Elina Crespi used some Diffusion Model to represent her dreams. By Elina Crespi LAMINAR SPACES After Midnight shows what the minutes, hours, days, months and years after the end of the world might look like. In 2021, the “Doomsay Clock” in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists shows that we are 100 seconds away from a possible end of the world on a 24-hour scale. Arthur Lucchesi imagined what the end of the world might look like after that time. By Arthur Lucchesi Rebirth By working hand in hand with several AIs (for the visuals, the music, the voice-over and the subtitles), Adryan Barilliet created a new mythology narrating the creation of a world after the fusion between divine and machine. By Adryan Barilliet THE Utopian City Tickie created a dialogue with the AI to ask it what a utopian city would be like. She collected the conversations and images and archived them into a website. By Tickie Bindner Au pied de la lettre Niki created an interactive quiz in which the user must find the French expression represented by the images. By Niki Zaal Explorations Jeanne used machine learning to give her access to universes in her favorite books that are poorly documented visually. With text inputs, she explored different environments like the forest, the ocean and the sky to create animated lock screens for smartphones. By Jeanne Weber

Special screening of "Donbass" by Sergei Loznitsa,11.03.2022 The Swiss Cinematheque and the ECAL Film Department invite you to an evening of support for the Ukrainian people on Friday 11th March at 7pm at ECAL. In the presence of Mykyta Kryvosheiev, director, editor, graduate and assistant at ECAL, who will speak after the screening of Sergei Loznitsa s film "Donbass". "Donbass" by Sergei Loznitsa - 121min - 2018 In the Donbass, a region of Eastern Ukraine, a hybrid war takes place, involving an open armed conflict alongside killings and robberies on a mass scale perpetrated by separatist gangs. In the Donbass, war is called peace, propaganda is uttered as truth and hatred is declared to be love. A journey through the Donbass unfolds as a chain of curious adventures, where the grotesque and drama are as intertwined as life and death. This is not a tale of one region, one country or one political system. It is about a world, lost in post-truth and fake identities. It is about each and every one of us. Admission is free, but a contribution to La Chaîne du Bonheur is strongly encouraged, via the attached link as well as via a QR code shown at the beginning and end of the session.

ECAL x Fondation Martin Bodmer - Scripts of the World,24.01–20.03.2022,Fondation Martin Bodmer, Cologny (GE) ECAL / University of Art and Design Lausanne and the Fondation Martin Bodmer have joined forces to celebrate typographic creation and the scripts of the world. ECAL will present original projects in contemporary typography and graphic design, from its Bachelor Graphic Design and Master Type Design programmes, comparing them with Fondation Martin Bodmer s UNESCO listed heritage through a series of lectures, events and workshops on Sunday afternoons on 6 February, 27 February and 20 March 2022. 6 February 2022, 14:00-18:00 The Scripts of Aram: Syriac-Aramaic Typefaces (FR/EN) Registration At the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the Switzerland and Liechtenstein office of the UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, collaborated with the students of the ECAL Master Type Design on a case: the Syriac script. Historically used to transcribe languages over a vast geographical area, Syriac is today mainly used as the liturgical script of Eastern Christians. Speakers of Modern Aramaic languages live in Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, but compose mainly a worldwide diaspora. While only a few digital fonts exist, providing contemporary and innovative typefaces would contribute to broadening the possibilities for the language to thrive, as well as to cultivate community ties. This day proposes to celebrate Syriac writing and Aramaic culture through the collections of the Martin Bodmer Foundation, typography projects of the ECAL and various reflections on writing, its power, its relationship to politics, language and identity. Conferences 14:30 Politics and type design, Syriac script: a case study (FR) by Matthieu Cortat, head of MA Type Design, ECAL 15:00 About the publication "Aram" (FR) by Elena Baranowski, student MA Type Design, ECAL 15:15 Syriac in the collections of the Fondation Martin Bodmer (FR) by Nicolas Ducimetière, vice-director, Fondation Martin Bodmer 15:45 Break 16:15 Critical Regionalism in Type Design - A survey of moments in history when social, political, economic systems change in parallel with typography (EN) by Nicolas Bernklau, assistant MA Type Design, ECAL 16:35 Aramean communities in Switzerland today (EN) by Melki Toprak, president, and Tony Ürek, secretary, Federation of Arameans in Switzerland 17:00 Concert of the ARAM Ensemble, A view on Syriac traditions, led by Jalal Polus Gajo, soloist, with Ammar Ai Toumi, percussionist Carles Dorador, oud Liqaa Marooki, soloist Marie Wahida, soloist Fadi Wahida, Qanun preceded by an introduction by Véronique Nebel, board member, Laus Plena Foundation (ANG) Workshop 14:00 - 18:00 Gutenberg press with Yvan Hostettler Syriac-Aramaic script with the Aramean Federation of Switzerland 27 February 2022, 14:00-18:00 (FR) Typographic Art: From the Major Names to the Revival Registration This day will take you through the history of typeface design, from the major names to the collection of the Martin Bodmer Foundation, then confronting it with the contemporary practice of revival. With this technique, a typeface is digitally redesigned from a historical typeface, or serves as a template from which a new design is developed, more or less faithfully to its source. The success of these digital fonts and their distribution are interesting mechanisms, which will also be discussed, mirroring the long history of typography, reflected in the collections of the Martin Bodmer Foundation.

VR Sequences – 2022 VR Music Video projects created by second-year students in the Bachelor of Media & Interaction Design program. La page blanche Taking inspiration from a 1970s building, a virtual architecture has been created, emphasizing the drawing experience. The viewer becomes immersed in this house where the lines come to life, reimagining an original space. The sketch extends beyond its paper, allowing a hybrid drawing to envelop the viewer. By Elina Crespi and Martino De GrandisIncident "Incident" is an immersive VR project exploring 3D worlds. Inspired by the "Max Headroom incident," where a broadcast was hijacked, the artists aim to recreate the unsettling sensation of losing control over screens. By Paul Dorsaz and Julien CauletVRONIC The sequence introduces VRonique, the main character and guide, in Le Salon . This project marks an early exploration of VR sequences and motion capture, evident in the character s intentional jittery movements and the non-finalized render quality. Created in collaboration with Graphic Designer Thomas Neyroud and Photographer Louis Michel, VRonique offers a glimpse into a future that blurs reality and the virtual world. By Adryan Barilliet

ECAL presents "Time to Move" at De Mains de Maîtres, Luxemburg,20–28.11.2021,19 Liberté, Luxemburg At the end of 2020, UNESCO inscribed the craftsmanship of mechanical watchmaking and mechanical arts on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Always ahead of its time, ECAL has long been highlighting projects based on these age-old crafts through original creations produced as part of the Master of Advanced Studies in Design for Luxury & Craftsmanship. The De Mains de Maîtres Biennial from 20 to 28 November was the perfect opportunity to pay tribute to craftsmanship by presenting a selection of the best projects designed over the last ten years by students in the programme. The selection thus features modernised music boxes for the Swiss company Reuge; clocks in the form of kinetic sculptures that take the shape of a racing car or a hot-air balloon developed with Jura-based manufacture L Epée 1839; two unique pieces created at Mec Art in Sainte-Croix (a true watchmaking capital of Switzerland), one of which illustrates the harmony between the three mechanical arts typical of the region (watches, automatons and music boxes) and the other offers a play of colours based on the optical illusion of Japanese professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka. The works on display also include a series of wall and table clocks, whose marble from the Italian Marsotto manufacture creates a dichotomy between the majesty of the stone and the lightness of the movement. From 20 to 28 November, from 10am to 6.30pm Nocturne on 26 November until 9pm 19 Liberté 19 Av. de la Liberté 1160 Luxembourg www.demainsdemaitres.lu
Higurashi book launch In Summer 2019, thirteen students from the ECAL Master s in Photography programme supervised by Milo Keller travelled to Japan to work on thirteen individual projects in collaboration with Japanese photographer Taisuke Koyama within the framework of the Tokyo Photographic Research project. The students artworks range from still and moving images to computer-generated photographic visuals and explore multiple facets of the Japanese megalopolis which is, once again, undergoing major transformation in preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. Some projects focus on aspects specific to the city, from the destruction of small residential houses to the construction of the gigantic Olympic Village and the conquest of new territories by the sea. Other works investigate distinctive Japanese culture such as home-cooked food, the appetite for designing humanoid robots, the blending of child and adult worlds in manga, pachinko gambling, the reinvention of ikebana and young girls as ‘rising stars. Finally, the works seek to visually represent more abstract concepts such as loneliness, emptiness and intimacy in a city that, due to its density, size and power, offers a challenging, fascinating and extremely stimulating complexity to the eyes of the thirteen photographers. Higurashi has been presented at Espace Commines in Paris in November 2021, inside the exhibition Automated Photography during Paris Photo.

Matias Carlier – Fever Two young skateboarders decide to go to a party, their evening gets complicated. Fiction / 22 min Synopsis La fièvre is a short fiction film about two young skateboarders, Aleister and Joana, who will try to declare their love for each other throughout the night. This declaration is put to the test by the different obstacles they meet on their way, leading them to wander the streets of Lausanne until the early morning. Comment For this project, I wanted to work with non-professional actors in order to anchor the fiction in contemporary reality, to film young people in their daily lives as teenagers, without distorting them. The idea was not to fantasise about a geographical or temporal elsewhere, but to anchor the characters journey in the here and now. Matias Carlier
