NORTH vient de remporter le prix Night Award du Festival International Signes de Nuit le 25 octobre dernier :
The Night Award in the documentary section goes to North (2019), respectively to Leslie Lagier for her ability to cross genres in filmmaking, mixing experimental fiction with documentary. Her focus is particularly on places and humans giving an intimate but also confronting perspectives upon the destructive relationship with the natural world. This ambivalence of human beings is presented avoiding stereotypes, but rather questioning the in-born aspect of mining and the connection with the land. The shifting point comes later in the film when showing the enormous damage done to land and water. The stunning aerial shots are in perfect harmony with the sound and the music. Not to mention the juxtaposition between empty buildings and archival material used as a document for memory and disappearance.

NORTH fera ensuite partie du 2 au 8 Novembre 2020 de la sélection officielle du BIFED – Bozcaada International Festival of Ecological Documentary.
