Il était une forêt France 2013 – 78min.
Short description
Under the sharp gaze of Francis Hallé, a passionate botanist who shares the knowledge he’s gathered over the last 50 years of his career, Luc Jacquet guides the audience through the equatorial forest far off the beaten path – thank goodness, because nature has overgrown most of them. He bends down and takes the camera in closely to discover tiny seedlings that will eventually become the next forest in five decades. As they grow, the newly recruited soldiers of this army of wood have to go through a difficult struggle to defend themselves against the attacks by fauna, be it microscopic or huge. Immobile but very alive, the forest must implement strategies and illusions to meet the challenge of its environment in order to make it through a lifecycle that lasts many decades...
