Behind the redwood curtain

Liesbeth De Ceulaer, Belgium, 2013, Format diffusion : 1.77 (HDV 16:9), 70 minutes

Behind the Redwood Curtain takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the dark and eerie Redwood forest. Seven forest dwellers - loggers, scientists, activists and Native Americans – invite us to discover their part of these impressive woods.  There are no Walmarts and Starbucks here, just small towns and big trees. The ancient Redwoods have always kept the region isolated but now the outside world and excessive logging are encroaching. The survival of a unique habitat is under threat. Liesbeth De Ceulaer’s compelling story entwines her own impressions of the forest and the complex relationship between man and his natural environment with the beliefs, dreams and fears the forest inhabitants share with her.
