Blues/Caravan

Blues/Caravan is the second installment in a series of short films, From the pages of Album. The series adapts poetry to the screen by means of a musically animated collage of motion graphics, texts and silent live action scenes. Every short film adapts one or several poems, which feature as text animation and spoken verse. The main theme of the verses deals with overcoming the nostalgia of a lost love. The poems for this episode, 'Blues' and 'Caravan' delve into the self-destruction of the main character, the Poet. In the daytime he pours his nostalgia into writing and in the nights he seeks solace in alcohol and hookups. Set on a treadmill of denial and neglect, we see glimpses of his past and future and how he evolves from a cleancut student to a street wanderer on the threshold of madness.
