Summary

The regional natural reserve of the Saisies Beaufortain Val d´Arly protects the largest mountain marsh known in the Alps. Over the course of a year, we follow its human guardians, visitors and its non-human beings residents. All their stories are interdependent : human beings, mountain owls, badgers and dragonflies living side by side without realising it. Our camera tries to understand symbiosis from a non-human point of view telling the stories of all these species.

The choice of the festival

Brother and sister team, Clara and Thibaut Lacombe, invite us to discover a mountain marsh on the heights of the Beaufortain. These two nature lovers observe the life of the peat bog – animal, plant and human life. They take us into the dark waters, into the damp undergrowth where black grouse call. Throughout the year, from snow to snow, life goes on. Sometimes man passes by but disturbances are few and far between. A magnificent and enchanting moment of poetry and education!
