It's a Wild World

The history of cinematography is also a history of travel films. Even in the pre- and early forms of the moving image, images of exotic places were an extremely popular theme. However, the cinematic journey to the end of the world does not always have to be a panopticon of the foreign, but is ideally aware of the staging and construction of one's own understanding of the world. Curiosity about the unknown and the search for its cinematic representability not only enable new images of distant regions, but also insights into our own perceptions. In this sense, It's a Wild Word crosses the northern hemisphere only to discover at the end that the real adventures take place in the mind. (Michaela Grill)
