‘This film looks at the nature of viewing nature and the problems we have created for ourselves in defining useful space: the contemporary act of viewing "landscape" requires an effort of wilful ignorance of our own position as present and influential, and what it takes to get to the point of being in a position to view it.’ (Robert Todd)

A correspondence film: rolls of high contrast black and white film were sent back and forth in the mail over the course of a year until the film began to reveal itself as a science non-fiction fairy tale, a speculative quest – circling and searching, falling and landing, entering and exiting – to recapture elisions in light caught within and between seasons, states, planes and worlds.

Cascade is an experimental, contemplative medium-length film shot on 16 mm, focused on the observation of nature, light, and movement. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the film creates a sensory experience through fluid imagery and visual layering, exploring the transformation of landscapes and the relationship between time, memory, and the natural environment.
