Salt
Salt is a short documentary film that chronicles Australian photographer Murray Fredericks‘ expeditions to the salt flats of Lake Eyre in South Australia. The trips are grueling and much of the film focuses on the isolation, exhaustion, and boredom Fredericks experiences while he is working. I found the film to be a little navel-gazing at times, but overall it’s worth watching if just for the landscapes and the view into another photographer’s working process.
The YouTube trailer is below. You can watch the entire film online at POV until September 17.
