Vincent Lapize

I have made eight documentary films, including The Last Continent in 2015, produced and released by A Perte de Vue. Most of my films are portraits of places undergoing change, at once threatened with destruction and a beacon of hope. I'm sensitive to themes that link ecology and society, the relationship between the collective and the political imagination. In 2024, I finished my feature-length documentary, Seeds of The Vertus. I regularly run image education workshops.
