Whispers in the Woods - Expat Cinema Rotterdam
After The Velvet Queen, where he ventured into the Tibetan Plateau in search of the elusive snow leopard, nature photographer and filmmaker Vincent Munier returns to the landscape that shaped him: the forests of the Vosges. Together with his father Michel and his son Simon, he ventures into the woods, where mist drifts between the trees and time seems to slow. Waiting in hides, listening to the forest, they observe lynxes, deer, owls, and other shy inhabitants. Munier captures the play of light, silence, and movement in images that reveal the forest as a living, breathing whole, where every encounter is rare and meaningful.
At the same time, an intimate portrait of three generations unfolds, bound together by their shared devotion to nature. What the father once passed on to the son is now being passed down again: patience, wonder, and respect for the unseen life around them.
Whispers in the Woods is a poetic nature film and a personal ode, in which Munier brings together his love for both his family and the forest in a sensory, almost fairytale-like cinematic experience.
