103 minuntes, directed by Jacquelyn Mills, with an introduction by Cam Howard of the Camden International Film Festival
An immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, a remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic, the film follows Zoe Lucas, a naturalist and environmentalist who has lived there for over 40 years collecting, cleaning and documenting marine litter that persistently washes up on the island’s shores. Shot on 16mm and created using eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, Geographies of Solitude is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world filled with arresting images and made with an activist spirit.
Winner of Best Canadian Feature Film at HotDocs, Best Canadian Documentary Film at the 2022 Vancouver International Film Festival, three awards at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival where it debuted, and and a dozen other international film festival awards and a nomination for an Independent Documentary Award.
