I Lost Sight of the Landscape
Sophie Bédard Marcotte
Intrigued by a theatre artist’s creative process, a filmmaker tries—over 16 attempts—to make the film she wants. As the years go by, unexpected turns of events blur the boundaries between art and life. And the work emerges when we expect it least.
From Montreal to the far reaches of the Canadian Shield, from the mountains of Iceland to the depths of the Earth, I Lost Sight of the Landscape is an improbable comedy that reveals the uncontrollable nature of life, with honesty—and a good dose of humour.
In the presence of Sophie Bédard Marcotte et Gabriel Charlebois-Plante.

Sophie Bédard Marcotte
Montreal-based director Sophie Bédard Marcotte creates intimate, tender films, halfway between documentary and fiction. Her second feature film, L.A. Tea Time (2019), humorously tells the story of her trip across America to meet Miranda July; it was selected by nearly two dozen international festivals, including Visions du Réel, Hot Docs and IDFA. Her most recent film, I Lost Sight of the Landscape, is an existential comedy that blurs the boundaries between art and life.
