An expanded cinema epic, Jennifer Reeves’s When It Was Blue consists of two 16mm reels projected by the artist atop one another on a single screen, each unfurling a contrapuntal stream of images captured from the landscapes of the Americas, Iceland, and New Zealand. Always on the move, Reeves’s film flits through an ever-changing world of sun-struck treetops, billowing hills, collapsing glaciers, and efflorescent lava, with fleeting portraits of owls, seafowl, snakes, and the occasional human.

On FRIDAY, APRIL 25th, at 7pm, Jennifer Reeves presents her feature film THE TIME WE KILLED at the Film-Makers' Cooperative (475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor), followed by a Q&A moderated by Joshua Peinado (@joshuapeinado), and a screening of Reeves' short film FEAR OF BLUSHING.

THE TIME WE KILLED “...proves that 16mm is still a tool for poets.” –Bill Stamets, @chicagosuntimes

“Her observations blend into a lyrical swirl of sunny reverie, muted trauma, and inescapable reality” –@edhalter, @villagevoice
