Here at the Water's Edge

A stunning portrayal of the dynamic fusion between human existence and the natural environment in New York Harbor.

Water's significance to humanity is encapsulated in five visual stanzas by Leo Hurwitz. The film begins with the ocean's waves on a sandy shore, then carries the viewer deeper into the land, showcasing rivers flowing to meet the sea and human-made marshes and wetlands. The images are immediate, capturing the ocean's air and saltwater smell.
