Forests

Eastern white pines submerged under the waters of a hydroelectric reservoir on unceded Innu territory transform into flames.

Director: Simon Plouffe

Producer: Simon Plouffe

In a dark, ambiguous environment, minuscule particles drift slowly before the lens. The image focuses to reveal spruce trees and tall pines, while Innu voices tell us the story of this territory, this flooded forest. Muffled percussive sounds gradually become louder, suggesting the presence of a hydroelectric dam. The submerged trees gradually transform into firebrands as whispers bring back the stories of this forest.
