Finis Terræ (1929)

En el islote Bannec, frente a la costa de Bretaña, cuatro pescadores han acampado durante tres meses para recolectar algas. Si se procesan correctamente, las cenizas de las algas se pueden vender a precios elevados. Por ello, las queman en grandes montones en la isla. Los problemas surgen cuando uno de ellos contrae una infección en el pulgar.

Finis Terræ is a 1929 French silent drama film written and directed by Jean Epstein. The story centres on a small group of men harvesting seaweed off the coast of Brittany, and the problems which arise when one of them gets an infected thumb. The film's title is the old Latin name of the region Finistère, where the story is set, and means "End of the Earth". The film is shot in a documentary-like style, with local inexperienced actors in all roles, and frequent handheld camerawork. Also, Epstein often inserts slow motion footage.

Production

Jean Epstein had discovered the islands of Brittany soon before the production of Finis Terræ, and immediately became fascinated and impressed by both the environment and the local community of fishermen. The film was produced by Société Genérale de films. It was shot on location on the islands Bannec and Ushant, and starred local non-actors. It is supposedly based on actual events.
