In the Woods

About This Movie

In the Woods is a raw, immersive documentary that pulls you into the heart of an age-old tradition. The film captures the grit and labor of logging high above Lake Ägeri, a rhythm of life intertwined with the seasons. It’s fascinating how the crew, battling snow and sweat, uses chainsaws to engage with the landscape in such an intimate way. There’s a certain beauty in the sweat and toil, this tactile connection to nature feels refreshing amidst today’s digital haze. The pacing meanders like the trails they traverse, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. What’s striking is the film's focus on sustainability—it’s a nod to preserving heritage as much as it is about the physicality of the work. Definitely a unique slice of life.
