Oct 1: Walk the Land (2022) dir. Peter Delpeut

 I like the sound of this film.


The film explores walking....

This description sounds intriguing.

The film makers return to the UK twenty years after a previous film...

Back then, they fell in love with the landscape of the Yorkshire Dales and the "Englishness" of the English. Does this land still exist?
They found a different land. Not because the English had changed, but because they looked with different eyes. Walk the Land became a film about the English obsession with walking and the romance of the countryside. But its image turned out to be more ambiguous than expected. "To whom does the landscape belong?" was a question which hadn't occurred to them before. Hidden behind each magnificent view there are veiled histories, they learnt. And they talked to Englishmen they didn't meet twenty years ago.
