About
This 22nd volume of Les Others is an invitation to poetic engagement. It brings great militant struggles into dialogue with more discreet gestures, from the destruction of a dam to the observation of clouds. From the political to the intimate, from the collective to the individual, this issue explores what connects our battles to our way of inhabiting the world.
Since its inception, Les Others has sought to capture the unique emotion provided by the great outdoors, not as a field for performance, but as a source of culture and creation. With this first edition of Les Others Film Festival, the magazine extends this approach through a selection of documentaries and poetic fiction films that propose unique ways of understanding our relationship with nature.
At 9:00 PM, three short films will be screened:
Haulout (2022), Evgenia Arbugaeva and Maxim Arbugaev
On a remote coast of the Siberian Arctic, a man waits in a wind-swept hut for an annual gathering of walruses. But warming seas and rising temperatures disrupt this natural phenomenon, revealing the consequences of climate change on their habitat.
La Traversée Sagittaire (2026), Raphaëlle Damilano
During a mountaineering expedition in the Himalayas with her father and uncle, Raphaëlle Damilano undertakes the ascent of a summit over 6,000 meters high. Following her grandfather's death during the trip, she revisits the footage of this crossing to question her relationship to family, identity, and what drives us to climb mountains.
Hivernage, Pierre-Antoine Amilhat
Invited by wildlife photographer Jérémie Villet, a young director sets off to meet him in Japan for an improvised road trip through the snowy landscapes of Hokkaido island. He films Jérémie in his photographic quest, between silent blinds, unexpected encounters, and aimless crossings. Throughout the journey, he discovers an elusive character, driven by an irrepressible need for movement and observation, and little by little lets himself be drawn into his winter wandering, without really knowing where it will lead them.
