"Ettrick" es un documental que ofrece no sólo imágenes de los campos, bosques y molinos escoceses, sino también un detallado estudio del meticuloso trabajo manual realizado en una fábrica textil. El movimiento físico del paisaje es también un viaje hacia la imaginería, que gradualmente se desintegra en partículas de color y superficies mutantes, reensamblándose nuevamente en los contornos que cambian como resultado del tiempo y el clima.
Made over the course of several visits to the Scottish Borders by the French artist filmmaker Jacques Perconte, the film interrogates the Scottish borders unique heritage : sheep farming, fabrics, the woolen mill tradition and our unique landscapes are all rendered in an impressionistic arc of colour and movement. The path we drive leads to the heart of the Ettrick Forest, a dive into a textile world. A land where man, machinery and nature deal with a complex relationship that draws their future. Slipping through poetry, between the brutality of matter and the sublime landscape, we experience a penetrating vision that embodies the stability of our deep desire to live in peace. Spectators are aware of the impotence of our movements, and we know that nature will find its way.
