Onion City: Blue, Blue
@ Chicago Filmmakers Firehouse Cinema
1326 W Hollywood Ave, Chicago, IL 60660
Opening Sunday, April 12th, from 2PM - -
The color blue. The color Maggie Nelson fell in love with for us to have the Bluets. In response, this program presents a set of moving bluets. Some films are literally blue, drenched in cyan; others explore grief, desire, the loss of innocence, the ache of sehnsucht. Blue is what we make of ourselves, and blue is what we remember.
