“A collector of the intimate fragments of life, whose camera does not only work as an extension of memory but also as a therapeutic device that can help one come to terms with death.”

With hushed curiosity, filmmaker Alain Cavalier invites us to linger and asks we rest — still with the mundanity of life in all its fragility, its impermanence, and its wonder. A patchwork of moments captured over the course of ten years, LE FILMEUR is an inimitable portrait of details, from its many close-ups of birds and mirrored reflections to the deaths of his loved ones. Cavalier reveals all with tender honesty.
