Atelier Grand Voyage Dakar | Workshop Eine Reise nach Dakar
Alain Gomis, Switzerland, Senegal, 2019o
Run by director Alain Gomis, the 2018 workshop “Grand Voyage” dealt with the theme of modernity. Under this lens, 30 film students (15 from Senegal and 15 from the Masters programme ECAL/HEAD) went out to decipher five of Dakar’s neighbourhoods using their cameras. They had three weeks to explore modernity, move beyond clichés, discover themselves through others, and, within all of this intensity, seek out a common intimacy: that of cinema.
