Justine Abitbol’s Chant at Dusk explores the materiality of the outdoors in a muddy ritual played out by four siblings. The protagonist, Helen, grapples with mucky nature, holding close the wings of a little bird, and unearthing worms in her hand. For Abitbol, and for Helen, nature and human interaction within in it is serious and visceral.

“Vou viajar para os EUA. Quero fazer um filme sobre a ausência do meu pai. Cresci a ver filmes americanos. Com o passar do tempo, as personagens pareciam assemelhar-se-lhe cada vez mais. Durante a viagem para Montana, escrevo-lhe cartas.”
