An immersion into the rich ecosystem of Sable Island, a remote sliver of land in the Northwest Atlantic, the film follows Zoe Lucas, a naturalist and environmentalist who has lived there for over 40 years collecting, cleaning and documenting marine litter that persistently washes up on the island's shores. Shot on 16mm and created using eco-friendly filmmaking techniques, Geographies of Solitude is a playful and reverent collaboration with the natural world filled with arresting images and made with an activist spirit.

Ben Kenigsberg New York Times It turns an ecology lesson, and an account of a noble, steadfast, single-minded pursuit, into art. Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail Poetic and ultimately powerful... Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) Lucas serenely communicates her love of Sable Island, its unique appeal reinforced by the cinematography and the music. Mar 23, 2023 Full Review Igor Fishman In Review Online Geographies of Solitude is an organic balancing act between the more conventional documentary forms... and something weirder and wilder... altogether. Jan 28, 2023 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Filmmaker Jacqueline Mills uses a “contact mic” which enables us to hear the constant buzz of life – in wood, insects crawling up a plant – fascinating. Consider how lucky we are to be able to explore Sable Island for 90 minutes. Rated: 4/4 Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Liam Lacey Original Cin Experimental, environmental, and existential, Jaqueline Mills’ poetic documentary follows the day-to-day work of Zoe Lucas, who has lived alone on Sable Island in the North Atlantic for decades.
