In the depths of winter, two adventurers set out to cross Quebec from one end to the other, exploring its geography, both physical and human.
Marie-France L'Ecuyer
Filmmaker and documentary photographer Marie-France L'Ecuyer is particularly interested in the relationship between humans and their environment. Sensitive to the beauty of wilderness, her work questions our relationship with the land and explores the inner dimension of adventure. She produced and directed the short films Inner Territory (2021) and Uapishka (2023), which were selected at a number of film festivals, as well as directing and cinematographing the documentary web series La Virée du Saint-Laurent (2022). North of Ourselves (2025) is her first feature-length documentary.
