As I reflect upon my two week stay in the Valley, one word comes to mind—calm. The
isolation, wide open spaces, chirps and calls of birds, coyotes cackling, and the
whistling wind have soothed and calmed my soul and mind. Before arriving here my life
was a whirlwind of responsibilities and worries—one task after another. Here in the
Centennials, when I close my eyes and listen to the wind and rain beating against
the roof of my cabin, all I see are clouds rolling across the valley. They form in
the mountains, tumble across the valley floor leaving only their shadows and the occasional
raindrop as a reminder that they were here. My raindrop, my gift to the valley, is my
film.
The Sites and Sounds of the Centennial
by Victor Daniel
My goal with this film was to showcase the natural beauty and diversity of the Centennial
Valley.This film was created for the Artist in Residence program for the University
of Utah's Environmental Humanities Education Center. The film and music is all original
and was created during a 2 week stay in the Centennial Valley in Southwestern Montana.
