The time of forests
François-Xavier Drouet / 103 min / 2018
The French forest is changing both in time and space. A symbol of authentic, unspoiled nature, it is undergoing an unprecedented phase of industrialization. With heavy mechanization, monocultures, fertilizers and pesticides, and the disappearance of know-how, forest management is following the intensive agricultural model at an accelerated pace.
From the Limousin to the Landes, from the Morvan to the Vosges, Le temps des forêts is a journey to the heart of industrial forestry and its alternatives. Living forest or green desert, today's choices will shape tomorrow's landscape.
