La vallée des loups
Secret territories still exist in France today. This film is a personal quest, the story of a crazy gamble taken by a passionate dreamer, an anti-hero capable of breaking all barriers to achieve his goal: to meet wild wolves in their natural habitat. After three years in the field, bivouacking in the wilderness in all weathers, the director managed to track down the wolves. Little by little, he observes, gets closer and ends up being accepted by the pack. Against all odds, the magnificent predators offer a little of their intimacy to this strange character. But the film also raises the question of the limits of this intimacy.
Wolf Walk
After being missing for almost 80 years and despite the obstacles, the wolves are on their way back to their former territories. The documentary tells the great mystery of the dispersal of wolves: how the young wolves leave the territory where they were born and the way in which these adventurers set out to conquer new territories. For two years, Jean-Michel Bertrand conducted real research to try to understand the complex and erratic functioning of these young wolves, their encounters with their peers, and the opportunities to become a couple.
Living With Wolves
Soon, there will be wolves everywhere in France again. People have to learn to cohabit with them.
