April 22-24, 2022,聽a weekend of screenings, musings, makings, & conversation, place-bound and attuned,聽coordinated by NEST Studio for the Arts, the Mission Zero Project, and the Mellon Sawyer "Environmental Futures" initiative in partnership with the Frontier Drive-In, located in Center, Colorado.

With over 60 people in attendance, WINDBREAK took place in the heart of the San Luis Valley, a remote high alpine desert region in Colorado with a stark beauty and relationship to weather. Bounded by two mountain ranges, the vast valley floor, the size of Massachusetts, is subject to some of the strongest winds gusts in the West. The Spring event engaged directly with this element at the height of its potency, with two curated programs of relevant films on a screen that served as giant windbreak in the flat expanse.
