Karoline Arn, Martina Rieder, 93′, Switzerland 2019
Original version with English subtitles
He plays with the cliché picture. He senses his roots: Stephan Eicher. The path leads into the Grisons mountains, to the once immigrant families and their legendary dance music. In these Jenish families lives an unknown musical tradition; it shapes Swiss folk music, seeks the blues, shines as a chanson or rebels in punk. But UNERHÖRT JENISCH (the unheard of Jenish) also tells a story of discrimination and persecution, which kept the musicians silent. A film about the secret of the special sound.
