Natural focus documents the natural landscape in black and white. By varying the opening of the diaphragm, re-framing with the zoom, changing film speeds, transforming the notion of time and superimposing different shots is a dialogue between fact and technological device it represents.

In the heart of the tranquil Vosges forests, where lynxes, bears and deer roam freely, Vincent Munier accompanies his father on his expeditions. He not only seeks to capture the visual wonders of this forest kingdom, but also aims to make its sounds audible. Every whisper of the forest is a reminder of the knowledge of nature that his father once imbued in him – knowledge that Vincent now passes on to his own son. Vincent Munier combines breathtaking footage of nature and its sounds to create a fairytale-like cinematic experience that slows time down.
