Every frame has a story.

Every frame has a story.

A surveyor returns each season to measure the edges of a salt flat. Her patient observations become a record of shifting weather, inherited knowledge and the stories held in a landscape. Filmed through a cycle of light and dust, Salt Lines invites a slower way of looking. This is a documentary about attention, and the people who choose to keep paying it.
