"Canadian culture has historically been preoccupied with a relationship to the landscape and rightly so, since geography, more than anything else, has played a major role in determining the Canadian character. Artists in both literature and art have recognized the strong feelings Canadians have when they are confronted with nature. The idea for 'Spirit in the Landscape' originated with filmmaker Richard Kerr who wished to examine the response of contemporary filmmakers to the challenge of the landscape. After reading Gaile McGregor's 'The Wacousta Syndrome,' Kerr was convinced that she had realized a number of points that were basic to the approach of many Canadian artists when they deal with landscape. Her argument, he felt, was particularly pertinent to those artists working in the experimental film community. In the catalog, Bart Testa discusses the films relative to the writing and the ideas of some of Canada's most important critics and philosophers, including McGregor, and examines experimental film in the context of the Canadian art historical tradition.".
