Job at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts

Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HSLU) is the largest educational institution in the six cantons of Central Switzerland. Within the Department of Design Film Art, the Bachelor Video program teaches the essential aspects of cinematic design, with a particular focus on the diverse forms and methods of documentary filmmaking. Over the course of their studies, students acquire expertise in the entire production process: from developing an idea and conducting research, to preparing a shooting script, carrying out filming, editing, and finally distributing their films. The program combines hands-on technical training, creative practice, and theoretical knowledge. Students apply their learning in their own short film projects, where they test, deepen, reinterpret, and combine their skills. In their final year, students of the Bachelor in Video choose a specialization for their artistic and creative bachelor’s thesis: sound, cinematography, editing, or directing.

As of March 1, 2026, or by arrangement, they are seeking a Lecturer in Sound Design for Documentary and Essay Film (50–60%).

Application deadline: October 27, 2025 –> Job description and application

Lecture “Film as Space” at Merz Akademie

Our CREATORS from the Merz Akademie invite you to the lecture “Film as Space – Inside and outside. Body and world. Yesterday, today, tomorrow.” (German/English) on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, 18:15 CET. This is the inaugural lecture by Maria Mohr, who has been Professor of Film and Video at the Merz Akademie since 2023. Maria Mohr studied architecture and experimental media design. Her documentary films are research, journeys and reconstructions of biographies of people for whom this world, as it appears to be, is not enough.
