Vertige d'une rencontre

Flirting with heights

Francia / 2010 / 75 min / Colour

“To become invisible, to cease to exist...”. Hidden behind a rock or immobile in his tent, Jean-Michel Bertrand tries to disappear, and he invites us to the scene of his solitary filming in the high mountains. Only his patience and discretion allow the magic to happen. This film is the result of many years of shooting, primarily in the Alpine region of Champsaur, where the director was born, and where he has now returned. Every day becomes an occasion to meld with the landscape, to look and understand “the place of each and everyone”. “Time is a friend”, the director loves to say when speaking about his goal: to see the eagles, find their nests, follow them, and live with them without ever being seen.
