Andrew Ray over at Some Landscapes<\/a> has been posting about experimental landscape films, including Chris Welsby<\/a>‘s Wind Vane<\/em><\/a>, Tree<\/em>, and other “landscape-generated landscape films”; Sarah Turner’s Perestroika<\/em><\/a>; the “Land Art for the landless” films\/performances of Francis Al\u00ffs<\/a>; and others.<\/p>\n

Catherine Grant writes about Turner’s hypnotic and haunting Perestroika<\/em> at filmanalytical<\/a>. “Films think,” Turner says, “they embody theory affectually” (in which she is echoing Film-Philosophy<\/em> founding editor Daniel Frampton’s Filmosophy<\/a>).<\/p>\n

From Ray:<\/p>\n

“the film’s ‘extreme psychogeography’ culminates in the narrator’s vision of Baikal, the deepest lake in the world ‘and the zero-point of Siberia’s status as a weathervane of global warning, landscape and mind’, as ‘a lake of fire awaiting the final sunset’.”<\/em><\/p>\n

For Turner, as Sophie Mayer<\/a> recounts, “the IPCC report before Copenhagen stated that the Amazon rainforest will burn when the temperature rises two degrees. ‘It\u2019s a cultural real that is outside a Western imaginary because we don\u2019t live in the extremes of climate change.'”<\/p>\n

Here’s a piece of it:<\/p>\n
