Land With No Rider

SOME OF THE CAST & CREW AT SELECT SCREENINGS T.B.A.!

In a remote corner of Southwestern New Mexico, the last cowboys eke out a fragile survival between industrial and protected lands.

Their herds diminished by an epic drought affecting large parts of the American West, these veteran stewards of the land live in a shrinking world of isolation, vulnerability, and memories.

A poetic story of intimacy with nature, LAND WITH NO RIDER captures a wisdom rapidly disappearing from the American landscape.

“Tamar Lando’s earthy feature debut ‘Land With No Rider’ is wholly grappling not with a mythological conclusion but a true endangerment of a way of life… Hard times and bitter losses do arrive in ‘Land With No Rider,’ and Lando’s humanistic lens keeps these obstacles grounded within the cracks of these men’s hands and in the light of their eyes for a stirring ode to the last few acres of the West.” —RogerEbert.com

“Poetic, endearing, and profound”—Alliance of Women Film Journalists

“Authorial”… an “aesthetic statement”—Filmmaker Magazine

“The film is filled with artistry and affection as it contains shots of vast, barren landscapes in southwestern New Mexico and visual studies of old ranchers who have formed a deep connection with the land that provides for them….Lando successfully captured the ranchers’ stories as well as their relationship to the land with such intimacy.” —TheManeater.com
