The Lost Highway Project - The Movie

The documentary recap of The Lost Highway Project, a seminar at Mount Allison University, in Sackville, New Brunswick, February 23-27, 2009.

The Lost Highway Project is a creative research project that explores remnant landscapes, examining ideas of critical theorists such as Michel de Certeau and Guy Debord, through the lens of Laplanche Street - part of an old route that once linked Sackville, New Brunswick and Amherst, Nova Scotia. Developing through experience, investigation and representation - field trips, video, photography, mapping, sound, documentary, poetic texts, and the web - the project investigates the potential of interdisciplinary creative engagements with space to capture imagined dimensions of landscape and map alternative futures and architectures. The results of the participants' locative investigations will be integrated at www.losthighway.ca.

Developed by Dr. Shauna McCabe, Canada Research Chair in Critical Theory in the Interpretation of Culture, and presented with the collaboration of artists Michael Alstad, and Ryan Suter. For more information:
