July Fix

Jason Livingston | USA | 2006 | 2' |

| IFFR 2007

An in-camera film that swoons with the anxiety of falling in love. It is July, a month for sending and being sent, and buzzing honeybees looking for pollen. Poppies and Sam Cooke make for a sweet encounter. ‘Jason Livingston’s film was brief but stunning, with the overall effect being that of a pet dog’s POV on acid in a field of beautiful flowers.’ (JT Rogstad, TIE Film Festival)
