| Ashes and Snow
Gregory Colbert’s Ashes and Snow is a poetic field study
that depicts the world not as it is, but as it might be - a world in which the
natural and artificial boundaries separating humans from other species do not
exist. The film captures extraordinary moments of contact between people and
animals as seen through the lens of Colbert's camera on more than 30
expeditions to some of the earth's most remote places. The viewing experience
is one of wonder and contemplation, serenity, and hope.
