The Minusio Tapes

Her father buried a set of recordings; in trying to erase the past, he gave it to someone else. Now a stranger knows her history better than she does.

Decades after burying a series of recordings he believed lost forever, a respected architect dies. When the tapes are discovered beneath his home, a stranger appears at his daughter's door claiming to know the man better than she ever did. The Minusio Tapes is a study in what survives concealment: how the past insists on being found, one recording at a time. Produced under the creative supervision of Ramon Zürcher and Silvan Zürcher during the Locarno Film Festival 2026 Spring Academy.
