About the film
Une fenêtre ouverte is a 2005 documentary film written and directed by Senegalese writer and filmmaker Khady Sylla. The film was a co-production by French company Athénaïse, as well as Guiss Guiss Communications, which is owned by Sylla's younger sister Mariama Sylla Faye. The film comes after an "unsatisfactory attempt" by Sylla to create a film capturing the numerous mentally ill people she encountered on the streets of Dakar.
