PEFF: "The Shepherd and the Bear"

Set high in the French Pyrenees, “The Shepherd and the Bear” explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears into a traditional shepherding community. Registration requested.

The film follows an aging shepherd struggling to find a successor as bears prey on his flock and a teenage boy obsessed with tracking the bears. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, The film is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.

The film will be followed by a post screening Q&A with Dr. Isla Duporge (Postdoc Researcher, Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University)

The screening will be preceded with light refreshments starting at 10:30 a.m. The film starts at 11 a.m.

Presented in collaboration with the Princeton French Film Festival.
