The Unknown: A Filmmaker’s Search for Lost Connections | Arts and Culture
Filmmaker Simplice Ganou, from Burkina Faso, spends his time documenting people and relationships, but when he travels to Winterthur, Switzerland, he faces a new challenge: nobody wants to talk to him. Struggling to make connections, he’s confronted with a question many documentary filmmakers know well: how do you film people who don’t want to engage?
Through humour, vulnerability and persistence, Ganou discovers a creative way to break through. But will it be enough?
The Unknown is a documentary short by Simplice Herman Ganou.
