DOXA 2009: Chasing Wild Horses_clips

Directors: Matt Trecartin and Natasha Ryan
Canada, 2008, 50 minutes

Chasing Wild Horses is a beautiful story of reverence and splendour. Roberto Dutesco, New York Citys top fashion photographer, works with human beauty every day. Born in Romania and raised in Montreal, his unique artistic eye has brought him fame and recognition throughout the fashion world. Many years ago, he took a small plane to Sable Island, where he found an exceptional environment that changed his perception of beauty and undeniably impacted his art.

On this unique island, the discovery of untamed, long-maned horses running through the dunes was an aesthetic experience like no other for Roberto. He became fixated on the natural beauty of the untouched, wild horses. In Chasing Wild Horses, he returns to the island with his camera. And with him, we discover the hidden treasures this country offers. Accessing the island is nearly impossible; very few people are allowed access in order to preserve the island. Through his photos and his New York gallery, Roberto wants to bring support to the various organizations dedicated to preserving the beauty of Sable Island.
