Fall Creek

1970 • Directed by

Jon Jost

A homage to nature and a plea for a careful approach to it. In one of his early films, Jon Jost shows impressions of a stream in the forest and a couple streaming through the forest: direct looks into the camera, cross-fades, multiple exposures, playing with sunlight, shadows and shapes. At the end, the appeal of a Wintu indigenous man who condemns the reckless treatment of the whites with nature is faded in.
