Watch: A Short Film About Scotland Reminds Us Why We Travel North

For those who love to travel to the northern places of the world, it can be difficult to describe that passion to someone who prefers that their trips begin and end with sunny beaches. How do you explain why you sometimes prefer to be wet and cold on an empty moor over basting yourself with beer in a cabana? Filmmakers David Guersan and Jamie Farquharson, who are part of the collective UNFAZED, have attempted to answer that question in a short film about Scotland. Shot among castle ruins, ancient churches, and iconic lochs, Scotland/Be a Part of It uses poetry to reveal the magical realism of the ancient northern country.
