Quebec Premiere

In this diptych documenting two projects at once, filmmakers Pierre Creton and Vincent Barré (L’Arc D’Iris, Souvenir D’Un Jardin; A Prince) reconnect with the world of plants and flowers by following the paleo-botanist Mark Brown in his ambition to recreate a primordial forest in Normandy. A film set diary of sorts is divided into seven walks where the filmmakers’ rich world is candidly captured, visible in their camaraderie with and love for their subject. All of this amounts to an unexpected suspense, a longing for the work being filmed before our eyes: Mark Brown’s primordial herbarium captured in sublime, sunny 16mm.
