WHEN IT WAS BLUE

Selected examples of a New Cinema

When It Was Blue is an ode to our beautiful and endangered natural world. This super-imposed dual-projection film rejoices in the splendor of seasons, landscapes and wildlife as we traverse land and ocean. An elaborate montage connects diverse ecosystems ranging from the United States and Canada to Iceland, New Zealand, and Central America. Complex, textural hand-painted film images by film director Jennifer Reeves interpret the visual qualities of land, water and trees, and are fused with nature imagery through superimposition. A frenetic visual journey ensues through decades and seasons as the camera eye tries to capture as much as possible of the natural world before it disappears.
