René Gardi's Africa

Release Date: 2019, February 8
Directors: Mischa Hedinger
Countries: Switzerland
Production: ton und bild GmbH

Overview:

Comprised entirely of archive material, drawing on a rich seam of documents to reveal how Swiss filmmaker and travel writer René Gardi left his mark on how a whole generation viewed Africa from the 1950s onwards. The film doesn’t just highlight Gardi’s colonialist way of thinking, but also functions as a reflection on the projections of Africa of today.
