Blue Lenses
lenght 20 min.
year 2014
director Sue de Beer
synopsis "He never talked about where he was from. At the funeral, that was the most I ever heard about his life." So begins the spoken narrative of Sue de Beer's new two-channel video The Blue Lenses, 2014, which tells the story of Daniel, a con artist, in part through the account of a young woman. Borrowing the title of a 1959 short story by the British author Daphne du Maurier in which a woman's eye surgery mysteriously causes her to see people with fearsome animal heads in place of their own, de Beer's beguiling tale also deals in confused appearances and assumed roles.
