Whispers in the Woods
Seating for the Tuesday afternoon films is unallocated, which means there are no fixed seats or seat numbers. You can choose your seat on the afternoon itself.
Filmmaker Vincent Munier returns to the landscape that shaped him: the forests of the Vosges. Together with his father Michel and his son Simon, he heads into the woods, where mist hangs between the trees and time seems to slow down. Waiting in hides and listening to the forest, they observe lynx, deer, owls and other shy inhabitants. Munier captures the interplay of light, silence and movement in images that reveal the forest as a living, breathing whole, in which every encounter is rare and meaningful.
At the same time, an intimate portrait unfolds of three generations, bound together by their shared attentiveness to nature. What the father once passed on to the son is now handed down again: patience, wonder and respect for the unseen life around them. ‘Whispers in the Woods’ is a poetic nature film and a personal tribute, in which Munier brings together his love for his family and for the forest in a sensory, almost fairytale-like cinematic experience.
