ABOUT THE FILM

Jean-Philippe Marquis | 2023 | Canada | English | Original version with French subtitles

At a time when the planet’s old growth forests are threatened as never before, Jean-Philippe Marquis has crafted a dazzling and unsettling film essay on forestry practices in the Pacific Northwest — home to the world’s tallest trees. Juxtaposing sublime aerial imagery with vérité workplace footage, he meets people whose livelihood is connected to the forest economy and culture, tempering a critique of neoliberal forestry practices with empathy for those who labour within the system.
