SYNOPSIS
“Travels after travels, in endless expanses of ocean and preserved nature, cetaceans set the tempo for my weeks one way or another: dead or alive, skeleton or cut-up flesh, archaeological artefact or decoration, hunted or stranded.” After coming across cetaceans or their artefacts in Norway, in Lofoten, and Orkney, filmmaker La Fille Renne decided to take their camera to the Faroes and the Hebrides. From magnificent landscapes to whaling stations’ ruins and whale skeletons, their research caused them to face past and current relationships between humans and those sea mammals. They question the fragility of our links to those giants, the current whaling practices inherited from subsistence behaviour, the human impact on marine ecosystems, and the future.
