Very immersive doc about a naturalist who lives on a tiny remote strip of sand off the coast of Nova Scotia and follows her 40+ year dedication to the animals that inhabit the island with her. Some really cool experimental elements, like a soundtrack made by bugs and film developed in the seawater surrounding the island

a wonderful documentary about a relatively untouched island strip off the coast of Canada where horses roam free and there's no one to govern or be governed. it's visually captivating - documenting the unique landscapes and characters of the island. powdery whites, blush pinks, soothing greens. it was shot on 16mm film and the director used experimental development techniques, developing the film in the island's seaweed, water, and sand to provide additional texture and biomarkers to the film.
if you're in the mood for a mystical, scientific, soothing watch, i would highly recommend :) it's available on cbcgems if you're in canada!

It’s a slow documentary with beautiful footage that doesn’t demand too much from you. But it’s also about the lives of the filmmakers and what stood out to me was their bloody mindedness about finding the snow leopard and not knowing if they would. So it’s also a film about vulnerability, hopelessness, and uncertainty. It doesn’t sugar coat at the end. I think in its way it’s a really good representation of what life is actually like, even though practically no one is a wildlife photographer.

I have a very demanding cat who is far too smart for his own good and knows how to manipulate me into doing whatever he wants. And you know what? I love every minute of it. It is an honor to serve 🫡

Every time I look something up on Google images, more and more of the results are AI slop. It’s lit a fire under me to collect more books - been looking at the art & fashion sections of used book stores and building up my library. It‘s also nice to have a finite source to seek inspiration from rather than getting caught in an infinite scroll.

I love hot pot so much that I bought a zojirushi one for home. Perfect for having friends over or for group trips, everyone brings their favorite veggies & meats and you cook and yap the night away.
