When I was younger, I hated my body as much as I was obsessed by images of "Nature". On the one hand, I told myself they were sublime, and that's why they existed, and on the other, I felt that as a woman, if people didn't look at me, I'd disappear. The film runs around my character's experience. Initially fascinated by images, then by their bulimic production, my gaze
changes, questioning myself and asking : why I made images of nature? A succession of sequences illustrating various forms of representation of nature, such as wildlife films, Natural parks and zoos, are set in motion around my personal experience as a wildlife filmmaker, visual artist, ornithologist, woman and body.

Dir. Marion Guillard | 35min | 2024 | Belgium

"follows Guillard’s stream of thought, both autobiographical exploration and reflection about the way we look at others: animals – wild or caged; nature - unspoiled or shaped by humans. The result is a surprising weave in which mental and digital images arise and crumble" - DOK Leipzig

"an honest and beautifully crafted work that creates a tender rhythm through its layering of image and voiceover. Marion Guillard pulls us into her imagery and stream of consciousness, through a narrative (full of surprises,) interweaving personal quests of identity and family relations with views of being a filmmaker" - Winner, Doc Alliance Award
