This speculative screenplay, an experiment in narrative and absurdism, allowed them to research and investigate personal concerns arising from living in an environmentally vulnerable country facing complex issues, such as climate change and its subsequent (mis)management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fostering a transdisciplinary approach to their site and text-driven research, they additionally met and interviewed multiple people working with and by the water in the Netherlands — professionals ranging from sea-level researchers, millers, hydraulic engineers, artists, and farmers — and translated those explorations into the screenplay presented in this publication. In the interweaving storylines, traditional understandings of borders and forms of sentience are challenged as well as the archetypal setting for the Western film itself, resulting in a new, blurry frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthors: Pilar Mata Dupont and Erika Roux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrinting: Offset B\/W on Munken Print White 90g 1.8 and Impact Natural 80g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: 400\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e184 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e110×175 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 978-90-827712-5-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pilar Mata Dupont, Erika Roux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52409148768558,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2263\/4647\/files\/imgi_35_1.jpg?v=1786264735","url":"https:\/\/3ssstudios.com\/products\/scenes-from-the-polder-western","provider":"Bungee Space by 3standardstoppage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
