FILM SYNOPSIS

A timeless portrait of Sable Island through a poetic immersion into its ecosystem.

On the remote Sable Island off Nova Scotia, naturalist and environmentalist Zoe Lucas has spent a lifetime meticulously documenting the island’s changes. Lucas is the devoted custodian to her chosen home where she has lived for over 40 years, amassing a staggering collection of taxidermy creatures and catalogues of marine litter.

Shot on 16mm and incorporating eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, this playful experimentation chronicles an island’s ecological marvels such as its wild horses, seal colonies and starry landscapes. The pattering of insects produces a melodic tune, while seaweed becomes material for film processing. Reminiscent of a languid hike, this film is a reflective journey that refreshes the soul.
