In 1998 a 260-kilometer stretch of the Loire Riverâand its adjoining parklands, vineyards, chateaux, churches, abbeys and prehistoric sitesâfrom Sully-sur-Loire to Chalonnes, was nominated by the government of France as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Focusing on dynamic and ephemeral dimensions of the cultural landscape, Strickland adopted the shorthand of âmicrocinemaâ to portray a collection of local characters and environmental transitions that would lend animate perspective to the Loire Valley World Heritage web site. Adding the glimpses together in a 27 minute movie, Allons-y Alonzo reflects a filmmakerâs quest to glean the senses of a place and to register its Genius Loci. The web site with Stricklandâs video was produced as a design prototype for UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
