Philip Hoffman's The Road Ended At the Beach (1983) and Somewhere Between 
Jalostotitlan and Encarnacion (1984) are strong films and his Passing 
Through/Torn Formations (1988) might be appropriate. 

Also Hollis Frampton's Ordinary Matter (1972) is a kind of metaphysical 
travelogue that spans the Brooklyn Bridge and Stonehenge.
