When I was younger, my dad used to tell me about how he enjoyed watching films as a kid. He told me that they allowed you to travel the world (flying wasn't that popular then). At the time I blew it off and just watched Lego Chima, but now I understand him. It's not in the same sense as seeing Morocco through Casablanca, but there's something so nice about being able to get a glimpse into what life is like for people near 'the edge' and just see what goes on around them; in places so remote and undisturbed that it feels like you're pestering them when you watch the film. The slow panning shots of the scenery are some of my favourite shots I've seen for a little while now. It reminds me of standing outside in the morning on school camp as a kid, when I'd wake up just a little bit earlier than everyone else, and looking around me while I took my first long breath of the day. I'm not sure where it was, I can't picture it, but I still remember my hands being icy and the feeling of the stitching of my beanie stuck to my head after I slept in it that night. Watch here.
