out of the blue
…evidence indeed that “everything is cinema”. At least in the right hands!
It’s very intricate and interwoven and full of good things and quite perfect, if you want my humble opinion.
synopsis
OUT OF THE BLUE is a characteristically thought-provoking and contemplative work constructed from seemingly disparate elements: imagery recorded from the window of a plane during her trans-Atlantic travels, diary-like footage (including haunting images of the twin beams of light that illuminate the night sky in NYC each year to mark the anniversary of 9/11), onscreen texts, and found imagery and sound. The result is a highly personal, open-ended meditation on the passage of time, historical trauma, and liminal physical and emotional spaces that embodies Fisher’s radically multilayered approach: juxtaposing multiple layers of visual and aural materials, she not only creates a rich visual experience but also brings into play a dizzying and cross-pollinating array of ideas. —Jed Rapfogel, Anthology Film Archives curator
