L'Arbre et le Soleil

This documentary dedicates itself to Mas-Félipe Delavouët, a poet who composed 14,000 verses in Provençal, reflecting on themes of creation and disappearance. Shot in southern France, particularly near Salon-de-Provence, the film intertwines quotes and recitations of poetry with visuals of trees and the sun, symbolizing the connection between man and nature.

In this 73-minute film, Pollet presents a unique take on Delavouët’s philosophy, highlighting his belief that creation is a pre-existing state, rather than a human endeavor. The film serves as a meditation on the inexhaustible wellspring of Mediterranean and Provençal myths, inviting viewers to contemplate the cycles of life and disappearance.
