Blue Desert - shot during winter in Colorado - is a new film by Samuel Levack and Jennifer Lewandowski created whilst working on their debut album Das Hund, For Freedom, 2018. Das Hund For Freedom explores the artists concerns about their place in a late capitalist society which increasingly seeks to commodify creativity. Spanning a four-year period (2015-18) in which the artists travelled across the UK and USA, filming the urban landscapes of London and Los Angeles and the deserts of Colorado and California. The work is a poetic reflection on the current global political turmoil and reimagines radical counterculture ideas that are returning to the popular imagination.
