Het Uitgestrekte Land is a probing journey through the landscape of Noord-Holland in The Netherlands, in which the audience is borne along by the music of the internationally-celebrated, Bergen-born composer Simeon ten Holt. The remarkable incidence of light in the landscape in conjunction with the performance of Ten Holt’s composition Horizon gives the film a magical quality. The film is challenging to watch and the audience experiences the landscape and the music in an entirely new dimension.
