5000 ans de murmures – 5000 years of whispers – 90′ – 2022

Directors Arthur Gal & Steeve Voccia

Production les Amis de l’IFFCAM

In the heart of Central Asia, the saiga antelope migrates through immense deserts of wild grass. A tireless runner, it tolerates no obstacles and for several millennia, nomads have gravitated with it through the seasons. On the steppe, history is not written, it is told to the rhythm of hooves. One day, everything accelerates, the horizon is filled with borders, the houses can no longer be dismantled. While the sea dries up, a plague falls on the saiga. These vast lands are now called Kazakhstan, and they are about to enter their dark age.

Who am I ?

Clément Couturier is a director of wildlife documentaries.

Living half the year in Finland, he knows the harsh climate and how to get around. With his many contacts in the Nordic scientific community, it’s easy for him to set up film projects combining nature, science, and culture.
