Jacquelyn Mills’ Geographies of Solitude is a groundbreaking nature documentary following the exploits of environmentalist Zoe Lucas, who has lived alone on a remote Nova Scotian island for over 40 years. Here Lucas observes the local wildlife and conducts research on how it is affected by human activity.
Read moreInstead of focusing on Lucas as a person and why she has chosen to go down this particular path, the film keeps the spotlight focused on her research, with the reasoning being that the nature on show is interesting enough.
Rarely have fauna and flora been presented in such an original way as here, with the film exploring cinematic narrative in interaction with nature itself, such as when the footsteps of a beetle are transformed into music. The dividing lines between nature and art are dissolved here, and with its experimental sound and exquisite photography, the film is an audiovisual symphonic experience that only the big screen can do justice to.
