Short film
BLUE EDIT
2020 · 15 min
A hushed, allusive collage of everyday images and jarring sounds that drifts like a melancholy meditation on mortality and farewell.
- Directed by
- Abigail Child
- Overview
- A cinematic reflection focused on the quotidian, with unexpected sound/image juxtapositions and bristling space/time vortices made cognizant through editing. The film was begun in a "blue" moment a year ago, returned to during the Covid19 pandemic and lockdown in New York City. It's pace, melancholy, and concentration on the everyday, rather than the grandiose, seem particularly suited to this moment in history. As well it returns again and again to themes of mortality and goodbye. The result is allusive and idiosyncratic, exhibiting cross-national globalism within and through the adjacencies of form and content.
