Cast: Mirella Ricciardi

Documentary
The untamed landscapes and fading traditions of East Africa come into sharp focus through the lens of legendary photographer Mirella Ricciardi—a woman who once immortalized a world on the brink of change, yet now chooses to stay hidden behind her own camera. Raised in Kenya by European parents, her childhood unfolded within the hopeful yet conflicted twilight of colonial rule. Her iconic photo collection, *Vanishing Africa*, catapulted her to fame while also sparking debate, viewed by many as a product of a colonial gaze. Now in her nineties, she refuses to appear on screen, letting only her voice and vivid recollections guide viewers through a life spent chasing vanishing beauty.
