Experiencing Interruptions?

The Damned

The crossed destinies of two explorers of the New World. Parted by the centuries but sharing the same horizon, a lost city will bond them forever.

The Damned is an independant short movie about the exploration of the unknown. The story takes place in the time of great discoveries, a significant part of our history when all the earth was being travelled and explored by the seas. From 1492 and for centuries after, the New World becomes the new playground of european navigators whether they were conquerors, explorers or scientists.
Running in our blood, exploration is a natural instinct. Like always since the dawn of men, we will keep on pushing our boundaries further and evermore. This movie seeks to explore all the dangers and all the wanders mankind has yet found or has yet not found on its way to the edge of the unknown. Naturally, directly exposed to these intensive voyage, the life of such travellers changes forever.

The movie was shot in French Brittany between May and June 2019.
Selected at the Lift-Off Sessions and Soundgrounder Film Festival.

Director Statement

With The Damned my intentions were to make a movie about boundaries of space, time and wit. The idea was to witness the extention of all three through the journey of two explorers recklessly sinking in the wildernes of a land they know nothing about.

!! Happy screening to you all and welcome to the New World !!
