San Cristobal (2011)
“Jennings plays with dimensionality in this film, which was shot in San Cristobal, Mexico. The film opens with deep shadows cast by the Chiapas sun. As the marketplace fills with people, the film is transformed into a flat plane of colors—vivid greens, hot pinks, bold turquoise, blazing reds… Within this flat plane, the viewer can discern representational forms—a woman’s glossy braid, a straw basket, a humble sandal, a child’s face… This is a beautiful, loving film.” (Karen Treanor)
