THE UNICORN IN SNOWPANTS SUDDENLY RAN OFF explores the clash between blind children's fantasy worlds and the reality they live in. The film draws us into the worlds of three confident children, for whom blindness is not a disability but rather a different kind of normal. Larks, telephones and short stories each play a role.
After graduating in philosophy from King's College London, Philipp Schaeffer spent two years working between Los Angeles, the Canadian Arctic, and Berlin. He is currently studying documentary directing at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.
