“The mountains are calling, and I must go.” – John Muir

This is Christophe’s 3rd personal experimental short documentary film, after the award-winning films “Keep Looking Up” and “Forest of Tranquility“.
The idea for this film was formed in my mind while I was filming “Forest of Tranquility” back in 2019. I had spent many days back then inside the forests and the mountains for filming and it was during that time that I made a promise to myself to create a timelapse film dedicated to those beautiful mountains. I had started working on the preparations of the production at the start of 2020, but then a powerful and unseen enemy, the coronavirus, changed our world and our lives, probably forever. After almost two years of restrictions, curfews, and quarantines, I finally had the chance to travel back to my favorite locations, the mountains of Epirus, which I missed so much.
In this film, I tried to capture some natural and beautiful sceneries into the mountains. Locations that can calm our souls with their simplicity and minimalism, no matter if it has beautiful clear skies or even bad weather. Another goal that I had set, when and if possible, was to avoid capturing anything that it is not created by nature. If I succeeded in this goal, it’s up to you to decide.
