Raw Vision Short Film Competition
Below is Pavel Konečný's entry into the 2019 Raw Vision short film competition.
Outsider carver Bartolomeo Mereu, nicknamed "Banana Man", lives in Sardinia near Dorgali, where he was born. He grew up in a family of farmers with four other siblings. Mereu stopped going to school after the third grade and helped his parents with work in the fields, before leaving to seek his fortune in Belgium and Germany when he was 19. When he returned to Sardinia ten years later, he bought a bar that he transformed into an ice-cream shop which he ran for 39 years. In 2015 he had his first exhibition in Dorgali.
