CUB has joined forces with several institutions and independent cinemas (MCBA, f'ar, Archizoom, EPFL Pavilions) to propose ÉCRANS URBAINS, a communication format based on images. ÉCRANS URBAINS deciphers and explores all the dimensions and facets of urban spaces, landscapes and the societies that create and animate them, in order to make them intelligible, to reveal their charms and flaws, to unveil their poetry and sadness, and to apprehend their major changes and challenges. Through documentaries or fictions, the challenges are outlined through the prism of the image, which allows us to exchange and share on the environmental, cultural and social mutations of our society.

Initiated by EPFL College of Humanities (CDH) Direction, and amplified by EPFL Pavilions, the EPFL CDH Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program reflects the CDH mission of fostering transdisciplinary encounters and collaborations between artists and EPFL’s scientific community.
