Explore the scenic hills of the Scottish Borders through stunning digital disintegration in Jacques Perconte’s mind-bending film “Ettrick”. “Slipping through poetry, between the brutality of matter and the sublime landscape, we experience a penetrating vision that embodies the stability of our deep desire to live in peace.” -- Jacques Perconte

Ettrick
Jacques Perconte, 2015, 58m

Made over the course of several visits to the Scottish Borders by the French artist filmmaker Jacques Perconte, the film interrogates the Scottish borders unique heritage: sheep farming, fabrics, the woolen mill tradition and our unique landscapes are all rendered in an impressionistic arc of colour and movement. The path we drive leads to the heart of the Ettrick Forest, a dive into a textile world. A land where man, machinery and nature deal with a complex relationship that draws their future. (Jacques Perconte)
