From tomorrow, the French and French will have access to an unpublished program on France 3 – attend, in real time, to the Brame du Cerf in the Rambouillet forest. An unusual forest feature film but which nevertheless includes real benefits. Amélie Boukhobza, clinical psychologist, explains to us why active listening to the hoarse cries of this cervid can do good to our brain.
A season of love filmed 24 hours a day
Nature lovers will soon be served. As of Monday, September 8, on the France.TV channel, viewers will be able to observe from near the deer in the midst of Monday.
“The objective was to think a device that could trace the typical day of a deer during periods of brame. This is why we have chosen specific places like a pond where we can observe defilements”, says Nicolas Sallé, director of this animal project.
Concretely, it will be possible to view more than 500 hours of direct, “Freely inspired by the Swedish program on the transhumance of the impulses which has gathered this year several million viewers” specifies franceinfo. An astonishing program, which asked for the installation of many cameras within the forest: seven webcams films night and day the actions and cries of deer, in the middle of the love season.
“We have obviously equipped the Place de Brame in cameras which is the most emblematic place, where we are most likely to see the deer Brand in the evening”, specifies the director.
However, what benefits to expect from this animal documentary document? Assisting the brame of such an animal, is it really a salutary break? Amélie Boukhobza, clinical psychologist, answers us.
An opportunity to get out of the daily whirlwind
This report, it is true, intrigue. What is the point of looking at a deer scream in the forest?
“Psychologically, there is a fairly simple answer to that: this document comes out of the frantic pace of everyday life. No suspense, no zapping. Just the time passing, slowly. And this does good to our brain saturated with notifications and images cut every three seconds”, says Amélie Boukhobza.
Slow TV ultimately resembles visual meditation. “”The mind begins to wander, we reconnect to reality, to sounds and gestures that we do not master. The Deer Brame offers a dive into something primitive, vital: instinct, raw nature. A way of reconnecting to nature, with its rhythms, its temporality – which is not ours. Finally, we are almost like in a safari here: we wait, we watch, we listen “, specifies the expert.
So, does this programming sleep? Maybe. “But ultimately in a society where everything keeps us going, finding the experience of a time that stretches is good, a bit like breathing”, concludes Amélie Boukhobza.
