Cinéma Gourette : Estive

Following on from this day dedicated to transhumance in Gourette, come and discover Martin Sorbets' film ?Estive?

Shot over three summers in the heart of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region, this 41-minute documentary takes a contemporary and sensitive look at the shepherd?s trade. Estive takes a fresh look at the world of agropastoral work, restoring the social and cultural dimension of shepherding and breaking with rigid archetypes. The film explores what it means to be a shepherd in this day and age, between tradition, adaptation to modern challenges and an undiminished passion for a demanding profession.
