Seasons (Les Saisons)

Special Screening

Synopsis

After traveling the world alongside migrating birds, and diving the oceans with whales and manta rays, Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud return with this new film on more familiar ground. They take us on a trip back through time to rediscover the European landscapes we have shared with wild animals since the last Ice Age.

Winter had gone on for 80,000 years when, in a very short period of time, an immense forest sprang up, covering the entire continent. A new planetary configuration brought about a transformation; the cycle of seasons was established, the landscape underwent a metamorphosis, and the flora and fauna evolved as the story began…

The seemingly interminable Ice Age gave way to lush, green forests, which was in turn shaped into the pleasant countryside we now know by the newly-emergent homo sapiens. ‘Seasons’ is a thought-provoking, exceptional tale, recounting the long and tumultuous shared history that inextricably binds humankind with the animal kingdom.
