The Unforeseen

Made in Texas: Tribute to Austin Film Society 2018 / The Unforeseen / USA 2007

Focusing on the rapid development of Austin and how it threatens the city’s pristine natural resources, Dunn weaves a tale about land and culture that is enthralling and poetic, a story of how environment shapes people. Her collaborators include Robert Redford and Austin-based Terrence Malick, the luminaries of environmentally-connected filmmaking.

The Unforeseen

Synopsis

Austin filmmaker Laura Dunn makes environmental documentaries that belie traditional activist film structure; rather, her aesthetic is derived from American transcendentalism in both literature and film. Focusing on the rapid development of Austin and how it threatens the city’s pristine natural resources, Dunn weaves a tale about land and culture that is enthralling and poetic, a story of how environment shapes people. Her collaborators include Robert Redford and Austin-based Terrence Malick, the luminaries of environmentally-connected filmmaking.
