Through the lens of photographer and physician Eric Overton, Collodion: The Process of Preservation captures a fearless, and uncommonly vulnerable self-portrait of American wilderness, our relationship to each other, and the possibility that nature itself may be all we need to find common ground. Following a series of conversations and interviews the film asks the question: "what happens when all we are left with is a photograph?" It is a reminder of the fragility of art, of nature, and the need to ask ourselves questions. Collodion ends as Overton's son begins to photograph landscapes with an innate sense of wonder and exploration. This is where the heart of the film lies. This is where self-discovery becomes legacy. It is a transformation not of political achievements, or battles won (though they must be fought), but an achievement of what wilderness offers so effortlessly: simplicity, connection, curiosity, and presence. 译文(2): 通过摄影师和内科医生埃里克 · 奥弗顿的镜头，《科隆迪翁: 保护的过程》捕捉到了美国荒野的一幅无畏的、不同寻常的脆弱的自画像，我们彼此之间的关系，以及自然本身可能是我们找到共同点所需要的一切的可能性。在一系列的谈话和采访之后，影片提出了这样一个问题: “当我们只剩下一张照片时，会发生什么?”它提醒我们艺术的脆弱，自然的脆弱，我们需要问自己一些问题。《碰撞》结束时，奥弗顿的儿子开始以一种与生俱来的好奇心和探索精神拍摄风景。这就是电影的核心所在。这就是自我发现成为遗产的地方。这不是政治成就的转变，也不是战争的胜利(尽管必须要打) ，而是荒野所带来的轻松的成就: 简单、联系、好奇心和存在感。
