Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, The Shepherd and the Bear explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community. The film follows an aging shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, The Shepherd and the Bear is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.

“Lyrical, visually and aurally ravishing…Balances its sympathy for mountain folk with an ecological vision that is wordlessly embedded in every shot.” – Screen Daily

“A richly satisfying reminder of the power of longitudinal verite.” – Filmmaker Magazine

“Unforgettable, visually stunning.” – Deadline
