Jardins du Marais

Jardins du Marais

2010, France, 16mm, colour, silent, 2 min. 30 sec.

This magnificent garden, in the Parc naturel régional de Brière, in the middle of the île de Guérande, Loire-Atlantique, France, covers over a hectare of land. It’s vegetable garden, ornamental garden, small forest and two ponds, make up a continuously evolving space, but also a visual mumble - jumble of wild life that draws one to delve into it in order to explore it cinematographically. In honor of Annick Bertrand-Gillen et Yves Gillen, the creators of this munificent space in the middle of nature.
