Film screening: La Ferme des Bertrand

Haute-Savoie 1972: the Bertrand farm, a 100-animal dairy farm run by three single brothers, is filmed for the first time. In 1997, director Gilles Perret devoted his first film to them, as the three farmers were in the process of handing over the farm to their nephew Patrick and his wife Hélène. Now, 25 years later, the director-neighbor takes up the camera again to accompany Hélène as she, in turn, hands over the farm. Through the words and gestures of the people who have succeeded them, the film reveals a deeply moving life story in which work and transmission play a central role: an intimate, social and economic history of our farming world.
