Director-editor-cinematographer-producer Jacquelyn Mills’ playful film pays poetic homage to Sable Island, a remote location in the Atlantic Ocean renowned for its rare ecosystems. Having lived as the island’s only full-time human inhabitant for over 40 years, naturalist and environmentalist Zoe Lucas has become part of the habitat.
Intimate, tactile 16mm images create the impression that we are present on one of Zoe’s solitary excursions, as she highlights aspects of the island that continue to fascinate her – from the starry nights to the famous wild horses and grey seals. But there is also the endless litter that washes up on the island’s shores. Despite its apparent gentleness, Geographies of Solitude delivers an urgent missive about the global environmental disaster whose reach has touched even the most remote places.
