“Big Bend – A Landscape Romance” is a voyage of the spirit into the vast and sometimes unforgiving landscape of the Chihuahuan Desert in Big Bend National Park in far west Texas. Filmmaker David Crews takes us on a journey into this unique place – a journey of beauty, stillness, and wonder. It is a path with heart that he has taken for over 45 years. His purpose is to help us perceive this landscape in the way he does – as a specifically spiritual and potent place that can change a person who comes into it, if they will only slow down, and look, and listen. This 40 minute film is the antithesis of a travelogue. It is a meditative, even shamanic, appreciation of the unique qualities of this arid landscape. The visual beauty of the desert is enhanced with Crews’ multi-award winning original score. |

The program draws the viewer into a huge landscape that is at times fearfully desolate, but then surprises with lush beauty hidden in protected places. Sometimes we find nostalgic signs of those who lived and worked the land in days gone by. The land itself is the actor in this drama. We watch it express its moods, dance and meditate, soothe or threaten. We see it move within the structures of time and weather. It is a primal place of sun and moon, day and night, heat and cold, life and death. It proclaims to us the tenaciousness of life and the fragility of our planet. “Big Bend – A Landscape Romance” is a musical and visual tone poem – a sometimes quiet, sometimes grand immersion in sound and picture into a very special place. It is a film suffused with the obvious love of the filmmaker for this particular face of the Earth. Join us for a beautiful and moving film experience |
