The Last Transhumance

About This Movie

So, 'The Last Transhumance' is this documentary that really pulls you into the lives of shepherds across six countries over fifteen years. It’s not just about the pastoral scenes, though, it dives deep into this ancient lifestyle that’s clashing with modernity. The pacing has this almost meditative quality, letting you soak in the landscapes and the rhythm of their journeys. You really feel the weight of tradition and the struggle against change. Filmmaking-wise, it’s raw and authentic, with minimal interference, which lets the shepherds’ stories shine through. There’s something striking about seeing their bond with the land and the animals. It's a unique take on the human-nature relationship, and the way it unfolds is quite compelling.

Long-term project spanning 15 years.Filmed across six different countries.Focuses on the clash between tradition and modern life.
