New film Whispers in the Woods in premiere in Amsterdam IDFA
October 29, 2025
With great joy and pride FLAT // LAND announces the premiere of Vincent Munier’s new film Le Chant des Forêts (Whispers in the Woods) at IDFA in Amsterdam.
PRESSCONFERENCE, Q&A > Vincent Munier will be present on Tuesday November 18th at the seance of 17.45 hr.!
After his famous movie The Velvet Queen (2021), in which Munier searched the Tibetan Plateau for the elusive snow leopard, the French wild life photographer and filmer now returns with a new nature film that is just as breathtaking and hopeful. This time he stays much closer to home, in the forests of the Vosges in France. Munier first came here as a teenager; it was here his father taught him about nature—how to look, and above all, how to listen.
Vincent’s son is now the same age he was at the time. We follow three generations of the Munier family in the vast forests. Waiting and watching, the silence broken only by their whispers. There are rutting deer and comical young owls. In the evening, by candlelight, they tell each other stories: the last time Grandpa saw a capercaillie, or a tall tale about a lynx. A joy to listen to and, luckily for us, accompanied by beautiful images.
