About the film

In this film Salome Lamas is recalling Kant's ideas on the topics of the immense beauty and sublime. While the eye of her camera is leaning on the graphical landscape of the mountains and theses of a venerable philosopher, she outlines that to experience the sublime sensibility, a body, being human and being finite are preconditions.

Encounters with Landscape 3x was an attempt to formalize the landscape, but the landscape did not give in.
