The local struggle against the planned A69 freeway linking Castres to Toulouse has been going on for many years. Since 2021, it has taken on a new dimension, not only because of the first concrete signs of its construction (bitumen plants, felling of trees, start of work…) but above all because of the multiplication of collectives opposing this aberrant freeway project which is determined to fracture the territory.

88 min. - 2024 - Documentary - Ten Thousand Images
For the Māori, the Whanganui is a living being - their ancestor. This belief was institutionalized by New Zealand law in 2017. Granting the river the status of a legal person is both a means of environmental protection and a legal validation of the Māori worldview.
This film is an invitation to experiment with these values: to see our relationship with the world around us - and above all with the natural world - as an intergenerational responsibility of care and custody, rather than simply one of ownership, use or extraction.
Produced over a period of three years, in close collaboration with the Māori of Whanganui, this film is a positive and urgent call to action for the rights of nature.

What does connecting with nature mean to you? At the end of words ("Lost for Words") takes us across the UK, describing the landscapes and communities that live there. The story begins in 2007 with the disappearance of nature-related words from the Oxford Junior dictionary. These missing words, such as "acorn", "otter", "hyacinth" and "dandelion", serve as a guide throughout the film. The film takes us on an adventure through the seasons, from the remotest corners of the country to museum archives and scientific laboratories. Children, elders, scientists, artists and activists speak out, sharing their knowledge and emotional connection with nature. Their voices prompt us to reflect on our own relationship with the natural world around us. This film explores the fundamental issues of our common future: imagining the future of our planet and rethinking it collectively.
