Jamaica Plain, MA
A poetic and unsettling excavation of the layers of belief, ecology, practice, and geology that form a northeastern Colorado landscape. Cattle grazing, nuclear missiles, fracking, and wind power generation co-exist within a few miles of each other, all unfolding on territory whose ties to the Cheyenne people were affirmed by US law. The film locates the grassland in historic and geologic time, ranging over changing frameworks of ideology, and cosmology, contradictory human practices, and the material and geological forces of the land itself. Meditative original footage of the grassland merges with handmade collage animations and a richly textured soundtrack.
