Eternal Forest Film
Eternal Forest Film
The ‘Eternal Forest’ art film
created in 2018 rethinks and transforms a community’s relationship with it’s
forests, through the voices of people living in Goís, Arganil and Lousã, the
areas which suffered unprecedented fires in 2017. There is urgency to capture
the voice of those who are rarely given opportunity to express their opinions
directly without filters.
In the film local people talk
about their experience of the forest in their lives. They share stories of the
aesthetic and spiritual, ecological and socio-economic effects of monoculture
landscapes. They bemoan the absence of natural forests. Yet an unbroken
connection with a ‘feeling’ of a forest appears.
The poem ‘Sacred Tree’ - part of
the cycle of Eternal Forest poetry also forms visual and sonic narrative of
this art film.
Eternal Forest 2018 film has been
shown in over 50 screenings in the UK and Portugal, including UCL, Portuguese
Embassy, King’s College London, Evolving the Forest, Dartington, Biblioteca
Nacional de Portugal, Cinemateca Portuguesa.
