Whether you're a film student, history buff, or simply a lover of bold cinema, Annaud’s lens offers something unforgettable.Film Title: QUEST FOR FIRE | 1981 | 100 Mins | Canada & France | Invented Language
About the film: Set 80,000 years ago, Quest for Fire follows a tribe whose survival hinges on their ability to preserve fire. When their flame is lost, three members embark on a dangerous quest to find a new source. Along the way, they encounter hostile tribes, wild beasts, and a woman from a more advanced group who introduces them to new tools, language, and love. With almost no spoken dialogue, the film relies on expressive performances and primal storytelling to explore evolution, communication, and the dawn of human culture.
