This film block brings together stories rooted in long-term relationships with place. Across cliffs, forests, rivers, glaciers, and remote ecosystems, these films follow people who return again and again to landscapes they know well, learning how those places are changing and what it means to remain in relationship with them.

Climbers organize to protect access to local rocks, scientists search for species shaped by fire and warming climates, communities restore rivers by removing long-standing barriers, and artists and researchers bear witness to disappearing ice and elusive wildlife. Together, these films consider long-term engagement with wild lands and the species that inhabit them as landscapes and ecosystems change.
