SCREENINGS

I loved it!

There's room for guarding, for gestures with the animals and for silences, for interviews, and it's balanced like that, it seems to me. I loved the words of Lionel (what an incredible conversion!), Chloé and Alexandre. The words about the relationship with animals, about getting to know each other, including the less pleasant aspects. I found a lot of humility and depth in their words. I think there's plenty to talk about with people outside pastoralism too. And what mountains... the first portrait, of Lionel with the cows, it's quite incredible the shots with these very white rocks. And then to see Sohane again at that age, on that summer pasture, it did something to me. It's very simple, but you see, I'd lost the memory of the way she talked/babbled, and you've captured that. Thank you for that.

Congratulation

I saw the film in the summer and thought it was great. A big thank you for your work to highlight the realities of our jobs as shepherds / cowherds. My hat's off to you.

- LIONEL PÉPIN | Shepherd of the film

A delightful documentary

"Moving, well filmed, with superb images and plenty of subjects covered in the exchange around pastoralism. The shepherding profession is under such pressure these days..."

"The portraits are well-paced and the attention paid to parity gives a fairly complete overview of how they live their profession. A great immersion!"

- ANCI TEAM | National Association of Mobile Cinemas

Beautiful images

It's a great project, and we're keen to find out more.

- FABIENNE BERTHAUD | Director(Un monde plus grand, Sky)

What a great documentary!

"Which exudes humanity, sensitivity and nature."

"Too bad it was a bit short! But it makes us want to know a little more about the life of a shepherd. Thank you and bravo for this documentary!"

"Thank you for this beautiful moment of escape, these sumptuous images and these very authentic testimonies."

"This film took me back to Kerguelen in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF). There's the Ile Longue where wild sheep live. A shepherd watches over them in summer, and we - the air force - accompany him. A connection between man, animal and environment.

"Thank you so much for these beautiful, atypical portraits in a sumptuous setting. Long live your film!"

- AUDIENCE| at Saint-Martin-du-Mont, FRANCE

Well done

"For these beautiful images is the spirit that introduces us to the diversity of the shepherding profession, which deserves to be known by the younger generation."

"Thank you for this wonderful film and the beautiful mountain scenery. The sheepdogs really pop! A shepherd's job isn't easy every day, but it's a rich one."

- AUDIENCE| at Meillonnas, FRANCE

Thank you for showing your film

I enclose a photo of my herd.

- NICOLAS | Goat and sheep breeder

This film gives a voice to admired protagonists

They are so courageous and faithful to their values that they are able to align their actions with their philosophies of life. They have taken risks, given up a life where material goods are more accessible, and are now focusing on connecting with themselves and what seems important to them in their existence. The shots are superb, immersing us in the shepherds' wanderings across majestic landscapes in the silence of the mountains.

- PATRICK AMSON | Cinéma Division - Champigny-sur-Marne

Thank you for bringing us back to essential values.

"A magnificent film that is both beautiful and very true to life. It will inspire our five boys!"

"An immersion in the mountains that gives you ideas for a career change."
