Synopsis :
With a structure similar to an organic poem, "FINIS TERRAE" transcends the linear narrative of a mere documentary. Filmed in 1929, in the midst of the French avant-garde movement, this experimental work was created by Epstein, who mixed the rhythm of cleverly decorated images with some techniques from German expressionist cinema, presenting precious images, in "heaven and earth are protagonists" . A social documentary with bold experiments in the field of visual anthropology.
The film is the first in a trilogy that portrays island life off the coast of Brittany.

"MOR VRAN" in 1931
"L'OR DES MERS" in 1932 complete the series.
