Rivage (The Shore)
Narrative
Jury's Stellar • 2022
40 min
Paris, France
“Rivage” (The Shore) speaks to the zone between dry land and water, without precise boundaries. The film depicts this in-between world, between life and death, where the borders are porous. A woman, Eva, is drawn to the sea and her body merges with the landscape. Even after Eva’s companion David dies accidentally at sea, the bond between them remains strong through their child Louis, that Eva is carrying. Eva stands between David and Louis - torn between the joy of giving life and the sorrow of her loss. At the end of her mourning process, she chooses life, sublimating her pain through dance.
