My cinema is about remoteness as a space where the desire to connect to others and live differently is growing.

In The Blurring of Trees, I approach remoteness through incarceration and forced labour. I place the characters deep into the woods, into an insidious surveillance system. To escape from an unbearable day to day, the protagonists enjoy a rare system fail, the empathy of a prison guard, to create a space of liberty into which it becomes possible to reappropriate their own body and connect to others.

In a world more and more coded and structured, I believe in the necessity to create a space where the human being finds itself momentarily away from the rules. A demarcated space of rebellion that allows resilience and restricts violence.
