INVISIBLE LANDSCAPE
How can we qualify the role of nature in everyday life? Can it transcend class, age, gender or social background? Invisible Landscapes is an inter-generational exploration of nature, social landscape and custodianship, following historical paths between Dunbar and Helensburgh. A slow cinematic journey across Scotland that never features on any postcard.
'Invisible Landscape' is a Room 8 Studio production in partnership with Scottish Natural Heritage and Falkirk Council.
