[1] The Unknown Photographer is an immersive experience based around almost 300 photographs of World War I, which Montreal director Philippe Baylaucq found as a teenager in 1974, in an abandoned house in Morin Heights, north of Montreal.
Years later, Baylaucq passed the photos on to a friend, photographer Bertrand Carrière, who used them as the basis for a photo exhibition, Lieux Mêmes,[2] as well as a short documentary, Finding Fletcher Wade Moses.
For over 10 years, Carrière had tried to find some trace of what happened to the owner of the photo collection, without success.
The production offers users three possible narratives, accompanied by spoken word passages on the horrors of war, written by novelist Catherine Mavrikakis, narrated in English by Julian Casey and in French by François Papineau.
[4][5][6] The Unknown Photographer premiered at the Rencontres internationales du documentaire de Montréal on November 13, 2015.
