STATEMENT OF THE DIRECTOR

OUT OF THE BLUE started as a videographic research project. I’ve always been angry at the sex scenes of a specific film, but never got the chance to articulate my anger in a precise discourse. So, for my bachelor thesis I decided to have a closer look at the film to find arguments. Along this theoretical approach, something deeply personal merged with the research, and pushed me to create this in-between object, that is both a video-essay and a personal short film.
Since I was working with images that disturbed me, I looked for a way to make their discourse visible without actually showing them again. I found a filter where only the contours are visible, and I made them blue to evoke the original novel that inspired the film.
I hope that, as spectators, we don’t have to remain passive in front of the images that hurt us. We can answer them and create something new from them. I believe that video-essays can be a tool to help us reclaim our stories.
