A CNRS research director, anthropologist, and filmmaker, Éliane de Latour has conducted her work in France, Africa, and India. Through documentary and fiction filmmaking, photography, as well as scientific and literary writing, she explores the closed worlds of those who are pushed behind physical or social boundaries. The subject dictates the form. Whatever the project, each begins with field research, an essential step in constructing an insider’s perspective: entering into resonance with local interpretations by engaging with vernacular languages, ways of speaking, and bodily gestures. This attention to situated perspectives has informed her commitment to the living world.
Four women in close contact with wildlife explore our relationship with living beings through repair, reflection, art and "living-with". Four exceptional journeys that invite us to decenter our human gaze and rethink our ways of inhabiting the world in a time of climate crisis.
