Landscapes of Myth: Westerns After The Searchers
January 10 - February 28
The genre-defining opening scene of countless Westerns—an ultrawide shot that reveals an expanse of land so vast that the actors, riding on horseback, seem to inch along the horizon like tiny ants in a tunnel—establishes that the true protagonist is not the cowboy, bounty hunter, or outlaw, but the land itself. This distinctive narrative approach contributed to a cinematic language adaptable to landscapes far beyond the American frontier.
