Camping du Lac, dir. Eléonore Saintagnan’s, France 2023, 69 minutes
Book tickets
Marching to the beat of its own off-kilter drum, Eléonore Saintagnan’s mood-piece of a directorial debut is, in her own words, not about the lake creature, “but thepleasure of storytelling.” Taking an almost ornithological approach to its subjects,Camping du Lac traces the movement, rituals and rhythms of a rural Frenchcommunity, embracing the traditions of myth-making, fantasy and existentialismalong the way.
A playful meditation on the stories we create and the rituals thatshape us, Saintagnan’s film perfectly embodies TFFF’s fascination with cinema thatexists somewhere between folkore, observation and imagination.
