Synopsis
C RED BLUE J is an experimental documentary feature that illustrates the complications of division during the 2004 Presidential election as it is manifested in one family. Director Chris Sollars, an artist living and working in San Francisco sets out to try and bridge the political gaps in his own family between a younger sister who works for the Bush Administration, a Born Again Christian father, and Lesbian mother. | ||
C RED BLUE J is pieced together through an archive of family super-8 films, photos, interviews, and art videos. The story personalizes the political division of the 2004 Presidential campaign as the Gay Marriage Vote is tactically used to split the Nation’s vote and the director’s family. C RED BLUE J puts a face to the name of the opposition and reconstructs the lack of communication within a family and the nation. Watch C RED BLUE J on VIMEO! |
