Robert Tullis, Deke Weaver in Person You take a trip with another person and somehow, between the car window-framed miles, the roadside attractions, and pit stops for food, fuel, and rest, your relationship changes. Subtly, almost imperceptibly you realize the loaded silence of the monotonous miles and the intimate immediacy of the conversations held in travel have created an emotional journey all their own, paralleling the actual journey at hand or radically departing from it. In each of these six short films, the emotional dimensions of shared travel are explored. From the charmingly quirky narrative of a father determined to find Jesusland in the Northwest to the hauntingly metaphorical ruminations of a mother and daughter exploring the West together, these films comment on the unspoken expectation of the transformative power of travel-the travelers' search for meaningful connections with a world not just physically, but also emotionally, larger than their own.-Lissa Gibbs The Silence Between (Jacqueline Turnure, 1994, 8 mins).
