Geographies of Solitude is the debut feature film by Canadian Jacquelyn Mills and is a different and auspicious experience in the documentary treatment and in the approach to its protagonist, the conservationist, activist and naturalist Zoe Lucas, who has lived since the seventies on an island lonely, Sable Island. The filmmaker’s gaze on her character allows us to value the committed dimension of Lucas in the study of the fauna and flora of the area and in his fight against the plastic waste that ends up in the confines of the island. And Mills does not stay in the convention, but she explores from the diversity of textures, exposures and montage that 16mm allows.
