Truth in Transit stands out as an instance of ensemble performance but one that is like a consensual hallucination, a body of participants, never abandoning who they are, but simply adding a second skin of theatricality and the enlistment in this grand phantasm that is IAM. – Steve Seid, Pacific Film Archive

It’s the 21st. century and air travel is a reality. Montello, is a small town in rural NE Nevada, close to the Utah border. Located just outside of town is an intersection of two abandoned, unpaved landing strips. The landing strips are long enough for bigger planes to land and in good enough shape for International Airport Montello to take off.

Managed by the people of a “town that refuses to die” International Airport Montello

successfully maintains a grounded outsider position. It operates like a perpetuum mobile, an impossible machine, which is perpetually in motion and sometimes on strike.
