XINEMA: notes on the colour blue / Derek Jarman's Blue

Blue: a wavelength hardly visible to the human eye, a reminder of the colours we are incapable of seeing, that surround us – but have been rendered invisible. In this two-part XINEMA presentation, notes on the colour blue consists of a series of international and local experimental films that recount experiences of grief, love, distance, and interiority associated or felt through blue hues. These will be followed (after an intermission) by Derek Jarman’s 1993 feature film, Blue. This evening’s films consider blue, either as material expression or digital artifice, by its reflection on and within ourselves and our environments.
