Aurélie Chételat – Lumpaz

Lumpaz is an exploration of our relationship with nature. This short film observes a slice of Swiss culture through an animal: the bear. The writing process developed in parallel with archival research, numerous encounters that allowed us to gather experiences and opinions, as well as time spent in the forest and at the bear pit in Bern... The film was then constructed as a collage, an attempt to approach the bear, to fulfil a childhood dream. How can we address issues of territory and cohabitation without passing judgement? Valuable exchanges with technical and artistic collaborators and co-producers allowed me to deepen these reflections on perspective and documentary ethics.
