13 lakes from across the United States are captured along with their environments in 13 ten-minute-long stretches. Sequences of black preface each scene as if explanatory intertitles or voids to cleanse the visual palate. The identities of the lakes are kept undisclosed as the film unfolds, removing bias and refocusing audiences’ attention to the on-screen waterscapes themselves.


First screening of th 2K restoration from the original negatives.
