The Shepherd And The Bear

Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, <i>The Shepherd and the Bear</i> explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community. The film follows an aging shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, <i>The Shepherd and the Bear</i> is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world. UK filmmaker Max Keegan moved to France for three years to make the film. <i>The Shepherd and the Bear</i> previously screened at Filmhouse as part of the 2025 French Film Festival UK, delighting a sold-out audience last November.DocumentaryPT1H41M152026-02-06
