Under Heaven

About This Movie

Under Heaven is this intriguing experimental documentary that really captures the stark beauty of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom and Upper Valley. It has a kind of meditative pace, you know? The imagery is haunting—there’s this real contrast between the desolate landscapes and the humanity that weaves through it all. It’s not your standard documentary, more of a visual poem exploring themes of isolation and industry. The way it presents those little moments of life amidst the vastness is genuinely striking. You get the sense that the filmmaker is really in tune with the place and its people, making it a distinctive piece that feels both personal and expansive.

Under Heaven is relatively recent and it’s still making its rounds in the collector community. Given its experimental nature, it hasn’t been widely released yet, which adds to its allure—definitely something you won't find on mainstream shelves. There’s interest in unique formats, especially any limited runs or festival editions, as collectors tend to seek out those distinctive pieces that capture this kind of raw, atmospheric storytelling.
