I Lost Sight of the Landscape
2025 | 85 min
Documentary
French with English subtitles
A National Film Board of Canada production
Intrigued by a theatre artist’s creative process, a filmmaker tries—over 16 attempts—to make the film she wants. As the years go by, unexpected turns of events blur the boundaries between art and life. And the work emerges when we expect it least.
From Montreal to the far reaches of the Canadian Shield, from the mountains of Iceland to the depths of the Earth, I Lost Sight of the Landscape is an improbable comedy that reveals the uncontrollable nature of life, with honesty—and a good dose of humour.
Logline
Intrigued by a theatre artist’s creative process, a director makes 16 different versions of the same film—one in which art and life are continually intertwined—revealing the uncontrollable nature of life, with honesty and a good dose of humour.
