Songs of the Forest

“Songs of the Forest” is a film by Vincent Munier, director of the acclaimed “Spirit of the Snow.” Together with his father Michel and his son Simon, the filmmaker explores life in the wild forests of France. The screen shows deer, owls, lynxes, capercaillies and other forest animals.

The film also tells a story about family and how to build strong bonds with those closest to us. In the evenings, the characters share stories and legends.

The soundtrack features music by:

• Warren Ellis,

The film is aimed at viewers of all ages who want to pause for a moment and listen to what is primal and joyful.
