Blue Desert

2013

  |  

94 minutes
In an age devoid of memory and truth, a man, guided by intuitions and dreams, goes off in search of the meaning of life and existence. Revelations and symbols arise on his path, through which he comes to encounter his soulmate in the BLUE DESERT.

With plot points based on Yoko Ono’s first art book, Grapefruit, also featuring quotes from Brazilian author Machado de Assis, set against the futurist architecture of Oscar Niemeyer’s Brasilia, this modernist sci-fi offers a dreamy take on new age spirituality and the physical realm.

Acclaimed visual artist/filmmaker Eder Santos sets his multimedia talents at full blast in this gorgeous first feature.
