Au fond du ciel

Project details

Inspired by the tradition of landscape photography and driven by the filmmaker’s desire to learn from a place, Au Fond du Ciel explores the uneasy coexistence of human ambition within an inhospitable landscape. The film was shot in the Parc des Écrins, France, with the mythical mountain La Meije as its focal point.

It deliberately avoids the use of drones or any form of aerial photography, instead opting for perspectives visible to a person on foot. Au Fond du Ciel questions the illusion of human dominance. It reveals both the persistence and the fragility of our presence in a world that ultimately remains beyond our control.
