"Composing worlds".

SYNOPSIS

A film written, shot and directed by Eliza Levy on the thought of Philippe Descola. 70 minutes.

From where do we rethink our world to transform it? Philippe Descola has devoted his life as an anthropologist to studying how humans compose their worlds; starting in the Amazon, he turned his field of research towards Europe, in order to understand how we, the moderns, could have made the earth less and less habitable.

The film takes him to embody his ideas, in dialogue with the non-humans all around us, at the heart of a unique societal experiment in France, at Notre-Dame-des-Landes.

There, on and with the land saved from concrete, instead of a pharaonic airport, a new composition of the world is unfolding.
