Whispers in the Woods

In the heart of quiet forests, where the tracks of lynx, bears, and deer vanish into the morning mist, director Vincent Munier—winner of the César Award for Best Documentary of 2022 and a nominee at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival—sets out on an adventure with his father and son. He seeks not only to capture the visual beauty of the landscape, but also the whisper of the forest. Every rustle of leaves, every distant bird song, or crack of a branch is an echo of ancient wisdom once passed down to him by his father, which he now strives to pass on to his son. Vincent Munier combines breathtaking images of nature with the music of silence to create a magical cinematic experience that slows down time and opens up space for perception. WHISPERS IN THE WOODS are a touching declaration of love for a father, a son, and nature. A visual poem that bridges generations and invites us to listen once more to the forest’s voice.
