Far Away Lands (French: Les Terres lointaines) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Félix Lamarche and released in 2017. The film takes place over the course of two months aboard a cargo ship crewed by a mix of Dutch and Filipino sailors, centring on the contrast between their conflicting desires for the freedom of being out on the ocean and the security of having a stable home.
The film premiered at the 2017 Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois.
Louis-Paul Rioux of Le Devoir compared the film to Félix Dufour-Laperrière's 2014 documentary Transatlantic (Transatlantiques), noting that a key distinction between the two was that Dufour-Laperrière's film was more abstract and poetic, while Lamarche's was more centred on the emotional lives of the sailors.
