La Forêt


Poster image La Forêt

This could be the story of a failed meeting. Or the story of filmmakers who can't find people for their film. Or a meta-film about the problems of remuneration in cinema and particularly in documentary. Or a film about money, about the word as capital, as a good that can be exchanged like any other good; about the meeting between two milieus that a priori are far apart; about the feeling of not belonging to a social group from which one cannot however totally escape. It is also a film about guilt, sincerity, contact, friendship; about English as the only possible language to speak to each other across borders.

In Oujda, Morocco, there is a forest populated by migrants. In this forest, an ethnographer tries to meet them but, in the darkness of the forest, he only meets his own shadows. An intriguing and deeply reflective ethnographic film essay, La forêt is a poetic short film that questions the impossibility of filming the Other and, as such, the ethics of anthropology and the act of filming reality. An experimental short film on the backstage of filmic ethnography not to be missed!
