Throughout the twentieth century, American home-movie makers shot a massive amount of footage, many more times the volume of films made by the movie industry. Taken collectively, this footage offers a vision of our country quite different from that which Hollywood produced. This dream ride is composed of shots taken coast-to-coast by scores of amateurs from the 1920s through the 1970s as they stopped to capture sights both familiar and obscure. This interactive silent-film mixtape invites the audience to make up its own soundtrack—if you recognize a location, a car, or some other element on the screen, speak up! The question mark in the title leaves the idea of road trips and home movies suspended in air, but there is no doubt that traveling by car was different then. By turns surprising and expected, this exceptional film offers a unique and fascinating view of our collective travels along the American road.  TBW
