About

** Seattle premiere! **

Joanna Priestley’s electrifying experimental animation shatters the distinction between our modern technological reality and the natural landscapes of Canada’s Yukon Territory. The focus of North of Blue is on the world of images, chronicling a series of shifting designs and patterns accompanied by an entrancing original score. Inspired by her time spent in the Yukon wilderness, Priestley has created a dense multiverse of images and fractals that deconstructs conventional iconography and creates patterns that feel at once comfortable and alien. A remarkable film that defies categorization, North of Blue has to be seen on the big screen.
