Thank you for your kind words Thomas! Feel free to use it, it's open access. There's a lot more to explore in relation to the topic, so it would be exciting to see other angles and perspectives. There's also an excellent short essay giving further context: http://www.16-9.dk/2008-11/side11_inenglish.htm

Walking is such a fundamental part of film... Fascinating topic you decided to teach, I think.

apologies for the shameless self-promotion but I wrote an essay entitled Gus Van Sant's cinema of walking - I give a short context there of other films where walking is a central aspect. You can find it here http://commons.pacificu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1436&context=eip

Best wishes,

Dear Film-Philosophers,

I am teaching a course in the fall on the philosophy, literature, and cultural representations of walking. I am looking for films where walking plays a central role to either show in the class or to reference. So far my list includes The Way, Wizard of Oz, Walkabout, Meek’s Cutoff, Walking (Canadian short), and the Way Back. Can anyone help add to my list?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Thomas Deane Tucker
