When It Was Blue poster

Released in 2008, When It Was Blue is a notable film directed by Jennifer Reeves, running about 68 minutes.

What it’s about. The film rejoices the splendor of nature as the camera eye traverses land and sea in a montage of diverse ecosystems from the Americas to Iceland and New Zealand. Colorful organic textures and forms, inspired by qualities of the natural world, were created through an array of direct-on-film techniques. This abstract imagery is superimposed upon nature cinematography through double-projection, creating depth and merging the powerful intricacies of the natural world with an artist’s reverence for it all. Anxiety and loss are evoked as the camera hurries to “capture” the natural world on film before it vanishes.

How it landed. With an audience score of 9.0/10, When It Was Blue sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
