Ghost Fair Trade

About This Movie

Ghost Fair Trade offers a unique lens on architecture and identity through the lens of Léopold Senghor’s vision for Senegal. The film's pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, allowing viewers to soak in the static shots that Laurence Bonvin carefully frames. It's not just about the building itself—CICES becomes a character that reflects a deeper exploration of post-colonial aspirations and cultural roots. The atmosphere is rich, infused with the history and hopes of a nation navigating modernity. There's a certain poignancy in how the documentary contrasts the static architecture with the dynamic life of Dakar. It might not appeal if you're after conventional storytelling, but if you're into thematic depth and visual storytelling, this one definitely stands out.

Focus on architectural themes and identity.Captivating static shots, minimalism in storytelling.Great for collectors interested in post-colonial narratives.
