Repérages – Journal of the Cinémathèque suisse

2025

The Cinémathèque Suisse

Repérages, an online review for the Cinémathèque suisse exploring the history of Swiss cinema through thematic analyses and archives, aimed at researchers as well as the general public. The platform has been designed to present dense, in-depth articles online without altering their richness or readability.

The sleek, elegant interface is based on a dotted grid that recalls both the magazine's grid and the perforations in the film, offering a flexible structure in which the elements hang together without ever becoming fixed.

The layout plays on rhythm to highlight the text of the articles and their associated content: images and documents appear either in reduced format in the left margin to accompany the text, or in larger format between paragraphs to enliven the reading experience. They can be accessed in full screen mode thanks to an integrated viewer. An instant preview of footnotes is available on hovering over the page, while maintaining classic consultation at the end of the article.

The Notes from the Archive section highlights the various activities of the Cinémathèque suisse. A page dedicated to authors offers an alternative gateway to the magazine's articles, with a biography of each contributor and direct access to their publications.

Multilingual management is sophisticated: the interface is available in three languages, but each article remains in its original language, with simplified filtering.

Designed as a flexible tool, the interface developed for the Cinémathèque suisse facilitates content integration. Authors directly import their text styles, which are automatically recreated in the CMS. Images, documents and videos are easily inserted.

Its name, Repérages, evokes the film by Michel Soutter (1977).

The platform was developed in collaboration with graphic designer Alice Vodoz and the Cinémathèque team behind the project (Seraina Winzeler, Achilleas Papakonstantis, Emmanuel Signer and Alix Hagen). 

As part of this collaboration, INT has also developed Home, a platform for virtual exhibitions dedicated to the history of Swiss cinema.
