A landscape has the ability to shape us. It has the power to influence our behaviors, our emotions, and our memories. A place (the right place) can inspire awe. It can motivate its inhabitant to explore and get lost within it. It can also inspire a fear of the unknown and uncontrollable, reminding us that we are still at the mercy of the forces of nature.

The following films highlight the landscape as an influential aspect to the stories they tell and/or the characters within them. Whether the landscape is a character with which the other characters must interact (or fight against) or an inspiring force from which the characters draw their emotions or memories, these films use the land as a integral part of the stories they tell.
