Paul Schaefer's "Adirondack - The Land Nobody Knows"

It took Schaefer eight years to make this film. He started it a year after completing "Of Rivers and Men" and premiered it at the Egg on February 9, 1980. To shoot it, he engaged two accomplished cinematographers, Walter Haas and Edwin Niedhammer. Noel Riedinger-Johnson wrote the script and edited the five miles of film they shot. The film won a Cine Eagle Award and was chosen to represent the United States in international film competitions.

The miles I’ve covered in the Dacks. My happy place.

As a somewhat local, its so cool to see old footage of the Adirondacks knowing that it looks overwhelmingly the same today.
