Trois Rives is a portrait of an imaginary river. Crossing it from east to west, or taking a detour to the south, from red to green, from undergrowth to the city, to its industrial zone: the film attempts to map the workings and organization of our civilization through the time of flowing water. In terms of filmmaking intentions, each shot is filmed on foot to the very limit of its narrative, until the image is exhausted. I'm interested in this approach because it allows me to work on the entrances and exits of the field, the micro-events that are usually invisible. I like to show the landscape as it thinks. In any case, this is the feeling that duration can give the viewer, when the different relationships and transformations that exist within a landscape are brought to the fore. And I think that's the great strength of digital, the beauty of relationships.

Damien Cattinari was born in 1993 and lives in Marseille. After studying geology for 5 years, he graduated from the Lussas documentary school in Ardèche. Through the prism of poetry, his films and photos seek to explore the fragility of the environment, landscapes and the world yet to come. As was the case during his geological mapping campaigns, his visual research is above all concerned with finding a “contact zone”, an image where several worlds worlds meet and interact.
