LOVE CANAL


by Elsa Brès



LOCATION: LENS REGION, FRANCE


300 million years ago, the North of France was a swamp. 140 years ago, a canal was dug in the middle of a city and water was never put in it. One day, wanderers decide to pick up the debris of one world along the way to start another.

Love Canal is all shot on locations in former industrial sites in the north of France mining region. It is a film that questions the reclaiming of these wasted areas and landscapes, through (science)-fiction, sculpture, poetry and the spectrum of the living.
