Description
Summary:The big question here is how a person facing imminent retirement might pass on their know-how and pivot to the next stage of life. In her documentary “My mother's goats”, Sophie Audier mixes social and personal reflections on an economic, political and local level. The film shows the exact moment when Sophie’s mother relinquished her farm and herd, as well as the effects that European regulations had on this experience, embodied in the young woman who would subsequently take over the activity. The interview with Sophie shows how important a detailed preparation and precise anticipation of the director's perspective to the quality of a documentary. Albeit not a new concept, it is a principle that has become increasingly difficult to maintain at a time when film-makers are under greater pressure due to shorter shooting schedules and tighter editing deadlines. To that extent, the documentary is also an opportunity for Sophie to share questions about the editing process and director-editor relationship.
