Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, this documentary explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community. The film follows an ageing shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, this modern folktale tells of tradition, community and humanity's relationship with a vanishing natural world.
The Shepherd and the Bear is screening as part of French Film Festival UK's annual celebration of the best in French language cinema at Phoenix.
In French with English subtitles.
