The Game

Les proies

Synopsis

In the Landes de Gascogne forest, bird cages are hoisted up to the tree tops with pulleys. A man on watch in a large low hut camouflaged by pine needles awaits the opportune moment to pull the strings. A strange and fascinating woodland theatre... Bucking all commentary, Marine de Contes depicts a practice in all its ritualistic complexity.
