On plants, patience, and a quiet return to film.

In 7 Walks with Mark Brown, filmmakers Pierre Creton and Vincent Barré join British botanist Mark Brown and a small group of enthusiasts as they search for indigenous plants in forgotten corners of Normandy. What begins as a series of gentle excursions unfolds into a subtle meditation on ecological memory, companionship, and slowness as a mode of attention.

Shot digitally and on 16mm, the film transitions into a luminous second part — Herbarium — where collected flora are tenderly rendered in analog. A phytocentric road movie that blossoms into something quietly moving.
