Julia Haslett

Julia Haslett will be developing a new feature-length documentary about ecopsychology, specifically the role nature can play in helping people recover from trauma and mental illness. The film documents ecopsychology practices and through its form (pacing, shot composition, sound design, etc.) will be therapeutic to watch. This new project builds on Haslett's recent film Pushed up the Mountain, which is about plants and the people who care for them. Like her first feature, An Encounter with Simone Weil, it is essayistic, personal, and poetic.
