I Lost Sight of the Landscape (2026)

I Lost Sight of the Landscape is an intimate Canadian documentary that begins as an attempt to follow the creative process of theater artist Gabriel Charlebois Plante. As the filmmaker repeatedly tries to shape the project, real life begins changing the film itself in unexpected ways.

The result is a playful and deeply personal meditation on art, love, failure, and the unpredictability of documentary filmmaking. Rather than hiding the complications of the production, Sophie Bédard Marcotte allows them to become part of the story, blurring the line between observing life and living through it.
