The Song of the Forests
Original title: Le Chant des forêts
- Genre: Documentary
- Country: France
- Runtime: 95 min
In the heart of silent forests, where the footprints of lynxes, bears, and deer are lost in the morning mist, director Vincent Munier – holder of a César for best documentary of 2022 and nominee of the Cannes festival 2021 – sets out with his father and son on a journey of adventure. He does not attempt to capture only the visual beauty of the landscape, but also the whisper of the forest. Every rustle of leaves, every distant song of a bird, or crack of a branch is an echo of ancient wisdom that his father once passed on to him and which he now seeks to pass on to his son. Vincent Munier combines breathtaking images of nature with the music of silence to create a fairy-tale film experience that slows down time and opens space for perception. It is a touching tribute to love for father, son, and nature. A visual poem that connects generations and invites us to hear once again how the forest speaks.
