America The Beautiful
This film by Lisa Karrer shows the beauty and immensity of America as seen from a road-trip. A layered vocalscape of drones and national songs serve as the auditory underpinning. World-changing events run parallel with the beauty of these familiar landscapes, creating an inevitable schism that transforms the ways we live, travel and perceive life around us in the U.S.A.
