ADRIFT
Why Watch? Simon Christen woke up at 5am so that you don’t have
to. He woke up at 5am a lot, for two years, trying to catch the
most impressive moments of early morning fog in the Marin
Headlands north of San Francisco. The result of all that
admirable early rising is this short, the most impressive shots
of Christen’s long-term project seamlessly edited together into
four minutes of breathtaking mist.
Adrift is a film of careful counterpoint. The Golden Gate Bridge
is front and center, of course, standing tall above the bay with
an air of steadfast grandeur. Yet the star is the fog itself,
and through it the passage of time. Christen matches the
rushing, time-lapsed sweeping of clouds across San Francisco Bay
with an ambient, contemplative track from Jimmy LaValle, of The
Album Leaf. It feels like waking up at the crack of dawn, with
all of the gorgeous purples in the sky and none of the
irritating sleep in your eyes.
What Will It Cost? About 4 minutes.
