Forêt Ivre
Overview
Forêt Ivre is an unusual project, which is set in a mountain refuge and is being filmed over the course of four seasons. The shoot, which kicked off a few months ago, will wrap in April next year, with a few final scenes to be shot to round things off. The mountains, and particularly those in Haute-Savoie, are at the heart of the filmmaker’s cinematic creations, taking pride of place in many of her films. This time around, she follows the overlapping paths of three women who take shifts taking care of a mountain refuge. As the seasons go by amidst the immensity of nature, they have more and more encounters, and bonds are made and broken. Through these three intimate portraits, captured over the course of one season each, the movie observes these women who have chosen to escape from the world down there, at ground level.
