The Time of Forests

Conservation • 1h 43m

Directed by François-Xavier Drouet • Documentary • 2018 • 103 minutes

As the symbol of authentic, preserved wild nature, forests are undergoing an unprecedented phase of industrialization. Heavy mechanization, monoculture, fertilizers and pesticides, loss of traditional know-how, forest management... all follow the intensive agricultural model at an accelerated rythme. The Time of Forests is a journey to the heart of industrial forestry and its alternatives. A living forest or a green desert, the choices of today will define tomorrow's landscape.

Best Film, Mediterraneo Video Festival (Ascea, Italy) 2018
