Rosalind Nashashibi and Denna Cartamkhoob discuss the making of Denim Sky.
Made between 2018-2022 across different time scales and locations across the world. Denim Sky is a feature film in three parts. Together the trilogy is a playful exploration of non-nuclear family and community structures, the theoretical effects of non-linear time travel on human relationships, and how this could aid or problematise communication.
The narrative is based on a fiction about a spaceship crew brought together in order to develop a crew mentality, so that they can be used to test a new form of space travel that uses non-linear time. Throughout, the light humour and fraternal mood of the group are disrupted by unsettling and unexpected events.
The duration of the film is 67 minutes
