Roan Mountain Eulogy

A short film by Peter Bundy

Divided into seven segments, Bundy's film contemplates the physical and spiritual landscape of the U.S. 's "four corners," an area embracing the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah. Jet streams divide the celestial quadrant marked by the movements of sun and moon. On the earth's surface, the camera captures the play of light as it lingers on mystical, geological landmarks - canyons, craters, sculpted rock formations and the cave drawings etched by the ancient dwellers of the Southwest.

A spherical opening in a steel girder of the Memphis-Arkansas Bridge provides a bird's eye view of the Mississppi River below. A stationary camera perched over the hole records ambient sounds and the symmetrical rhythms of the waves and passing vessels.
