Blue – Original Film Credits
81 mins – United Kingdom 1993
Director: Derek Jarman
This screening is fully audio described and open captioned.
In 1993, Derek Jarman released BLUE, an epoch-defining account of AIDS, illness, and the experience of disability in a culture of repressive heteronormativity and compulsory able-bodiedness. Though often referred to as a feature film, BLUE never existed exclusively in one medium. It was screened in theatres, simulcast on television and radio, released as a CD, and published as a book, creating opportunities for many different kinds of sensory abilities—visual, aural, and textual—to experience the work.
Conceived by artists and writers Christopher Jones, Liza Sylvestre, and Sarah Hayden, the BLUE DESCRIPTION PROJECT creates a new, experimental iteration of BLUE on the 30th anniversary of its release and Jarman’s death. Reflecting BLUE’s standing as a foundational work of Crip* art, the project challenges ableist hierarchies in art while focusing on the generative possibilities of difference and interdependence. In 1994, Jarman wrote in Chroma: “If I have overlooked something you hold precious — write it in the margin.” Taking up this invitation to write in the margin, the BLUE DESCRIPTION PROJECT builds on the multifaceted nature of Jarman’s work through newly commissioned and expansive accessibility.
This new iteration of Derek Jarman’s BLUE features an audio description track that has been created by gathering descriptions of the visuality of BLUE from many invited contributors. This version of the film also features 3 open caption tracks. One of these makes legible the spoken audio descriptions. One provides captions for the film’s voiceover narration and the last is a creative sound description track, which translates the musical score and sound effects of the original film.
The BLUE DESCRIPTION PROJECT (BDP) is produced by Liza Sylvestre and Christopher Robert Jones (Crip*—Cripistemology and the Arts) in partnership with Sarah Hayden (Voices in the Gallery). BDP is made possible by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with support from the College of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and additional support from the Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities HEIF Research Stimulus Fund.
