Abstract
Landscape films can be studied by using the same tradition that has been employed in assessing landscape painting and landscape literature. This can be done by first exploring the cinematic experience, particularly the perception of landscape through film. Following this, four approaches to looking at landscape in film are proposed: landscape as subject (the documentary tradition), landscape as setting (the stage set), landscape as character (the landscape as member of the cast and analyzed as such), and landscape as symbol. Suggestions for additional areas of study are offered.
