The Land & The Silence - Em Joseph - Official Trailer
The Land & The Silence draws connections between otherwise unrelated places sharing the name “Glacier Bay”: a national park in Alaska, a Home Depot waterworks brand, trash, suburban streets, and a car wash, to name a few. Stemming from the premise that the title of a melting national park is attributed to several domesticized sources from which water flows and is subsequently wasted, the film gathers documentary material and interviews from various “Glacier Bays” throughout the United States to collectively map perceptions of landscape as a resource, both historically and amidst our current era of unprecedented and carbon-driven climate change.
