Jean Rouch was a pioneering French filmmaker and anthropologist celebrated for his role in shaping cinéma vérité. Across more than six decades in Africa, Rouch adopted a collaborative approach to filmmaking that merged fiction and documentary, giving rise to the unique style of ethnofiction. Influenced by surrealism and embraced by the French New Wave, his work has been instrumental in exploring cultural diversity and human experiences through the medium of film.
