Y aura-t-il des rencontres à Rastoul?

2018 · 16 min

A quiet, observational drift through rural labour and filmmaking, warm and unhurried, inviting you to sit with the rhythm of hands at work.

Directed by
Sakis Brönnimann
Starring
Elisabeth Porte, Ariane Lefebure
Overview
Wandering through the mechanisms of peasantry in the Cantal region, this film attempts to create a free space where the filmmaker and the peasant women engage in some kind of collaboration; the daily work of cheesemaking, the temporary labour of filmmaking and the love for both tend to form a poetic triangular relationship.
