What 1985 Is About
1985 is director Yen Tan's expansion of his own short film of the same name, which won a Special Jury Award at SXSW in 2016 and followed a young HIV positive man reuniting with his estranged mother. The feature version premiered at SXSW on March 9, 2018, where it won the Grand Jury Award in the festival's Texas competition, then went on to collect over a dozen prizes at Outfest Los Angeles, including its Grand Jury Award. Yen Tan has said the choice to shoot in black and white on 16mm was deliberate, meant both to signal the era and to create a sense of the walls closing in around the character. Who it's for: anyone curious about a short film expanded into a feature, shot in black and white 16mm, that swept prizes at SXSW and Outfest. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a colorful, light hearted family reunion film.
