To Use A Mountain investigates these fraught landscapes of disposal and the people who live among them\, mixing physics\, geology\, and politics in a gripping radioactive travelogue. \nWe’re especially excited to note that producer Colleen Cassingham and director Casey Carter first met in the UnionDocs Collaborative Studio along with collaborator Magdalena Orellana who was also a part of the project from the start and added her signature artistry via the animation in the film. We’re delighted to also have served as the film’s fiscal sponsor and see it along its trajectory now finally out in the world meeting an audience. The film first premiered this past April at Visions Du Reel\, where it won a Special Jury Award. \nThis event is offsite at DCTV — see you there![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nProgram \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nTo Use a Mountain by Casey Carter\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]99 min\, 2025\,  United States[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]What do we do with our most hazardous byproducts? Nuclear waste will be with us\, still lethally radioactive\, for millennia\, and we’ve never found a solution for where to keep it. In 1982\, six candidate sites were selected by the U.S. Department of Energy and reviewed for use in long term storage\, to public consternation. To Use A Mountain investigates these fraught landscapes of disposal\, and the people and places that must exist alongside them\, mixing physics\, geology\, and politics in a gripping radioactive travelogue.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram Duration: 99 mins \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”147742″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] \nWatch the conversation between Presenter1\, Presenter2 and Presenter 3 on the UnionDocs’ Membership hub. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ffffff” outline_custom_hover_background=”#adadcc” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0000cd” shape=”round” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nBios \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”160615″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””]Casey Carter is a filmmaker and interdisciplinary designer whose work engages nonfiction storytelling in film\, photography\, data visualization\, and cartography.
