Finding Stillness in a Modern World

We’re excited to spotlight Sitting Still, a powerful film featured at this year’s Month of Modern. More than just a movie, Sitting Still explores what it means to pause, reflect, and reconnect in a culture that rarely slows down.

About the Film

Sitting Still takes viewers on a journey through spaces, places, and moments that invite reflection. It’s a meditation on the art of slowing down — finding balance, presence, and meaning in the everyday. The film beautifully aligns with Month of Modern’s spirit of thoughtful design and intentional living.

Talk-Back with Ransom Beegles

After the screening, we’re thrilled to host a conversation with Ransom Beegles, principal of R Design Landscape Architecture. Known for crafting landscapes that harmonize with both people and place, Ransom brings a unique perspective to the themes of stillness and design. His work emphasizes how the natural environment can foster connection, calm, and community — making him the perfect voice to guide this post-film discussion.

Why It Matters

The dialogue between film and landscape architecture opens up new ways of thinking about our homes, our cities, and our lives. Just as Sitting Still invites us to pause, Ransom’s approach to design reminds us that outdoor spaces are more than scenery — they’re environments that shape how we feel, gather, and grow.
