THE BLUE SUMMER Documentary Series

Shot picture-postcard style in the gorgeous Welsh Marches, THE BLUE SUMMER is a provocative experimental feature documentary about a writer’s ill-fated attempt to understand his lover and her art via an increasingly tormented contemplation of the media, contemporary art, digitalization, and the countryside. The film opens as an off-screen narrator describes how he discovered a pile of letters and the remnants of a failed writing project in a derelict trailer home on the edge of a wood. The body of the film comprises the carefully illustrated narration of these writings, capped by a collapse between realities and a wild Lear-type storm as much digital as it is natural.
