These rock concerts mainly come from the local Swiss scene and are planned to hit the web very soon. At the start of June, a showing of all the students’ work from the FAD 310 (film section) was organ- ised upon completion of their two year course in Digital Film and Animation at the “Fonction : Ciné- ma” de la Maison de Arts du Grütli hall in Geneva. In front of a very packed room the students were able to receive feedback and comments from the public. We wish our graduates all the best for their future. Following the shoot of the feature film “Le nez dans le ruisseau” the film production team once again reached out to students of our school for the edit- ing of the film’s trailer, scheduled to be released as Christophe Chevalier’s film hits cinemas this autumn. The preceding year several intern posi- tions had been given to students of SAE as well as cameraman and making-of jobs. In the meantime, all the students involved in the project as well as several members of SAE Institute staff were invit- ed to attend the film’s premiere in Confignon along The team +++ NIFF & Funkytown +++ Grütli & others +++ Masterclasses with Tom Pearce and Dario Dendi +++ Zombies & make-up artists @SAE +++ NIFF & Funkytown +++ Grütli & others +++ Masterclasses with Tom Pearce and Dario Dendi +++ Zombies & side a very enthusiastic public. Confignon, Geneva’s typical countryside was the film’s main filming loca- tion throughout shooting. During mid-June, in the form of a masterclass open to the public, Swiss director Laurent Nègre visited us to present his latest feature film, Opération Cas- ablanca. In this class he went through the various steps he had undertaken to successfully bring this project to fruition in Switzerland as well as pinpoint- ing the financial aspects of it. His second feature film will be coming to cinemas this autumn! This year, again in June, SAE Institute Geneva at- tended “Festival du Film d’Animation” at Annecy where SAE Institute Paris were also present. This was a source of inspiration for all the students who attended not to mention all the wonderful encoun- ters the game design members were able to make. Five students from the film section including one alumnus went to film Geneva’s famous “Lake Pa- rade”, held every summer on the edge of the lake where different rhythmic sounds are carefully se- lected by various acclaimed DJs. The recording of the event led to a 26 minute documentary that was aired on the local Swiss channel “Leman bleu”. n 176 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // EUROPEAN NEWS Index
