The Blue Description Project - Free Screening Of Derek Jarman's Blue

Join us for a free screening of The Blue Description Project, a new experimental version of Derek Jarman’s revolutionary film, Blue (1993).

Thirty years ago, British artist and filmmaker Derek Jarman died of an AIDS-related illness. A few months prior, he released Blue, his groundbreaking account of illness and disability in a culture of repressive heteronormativity. This seminal film—narrated by Tilda Swinton, John Quentin, Nigel Terry and Jarman himself—provides a refection of life and mortality, against a background of homophobia in 1980s Britain.
