BLUA
Colombia | Documentary | 2015 | 21 min.
Director: Carolina Charry Quintero
Additional Credits: Writer: Carolina Charry Quintero, Producer: Carolina Charry Quintero, Cinematographer: Carolina Charry Quintero, Norbert Shieh
Humanity and animality are enigmatically confronted and entwined. Combining rich high-contrast 16mm images with crisp digital color scenes, BLUA composes an uncanny entry into the relationship between human and animal existence. Unfolding like a tapestry, its montage complicates the relationship between observation and fiction. Reaching for equal beauty and strangeness, BLUA is an assertion of the uncanny, a cine-poetic philosophical speculation.
