Against a plain, unchanging blue screen, a densely interwoven soundtrack of voices, sound effects and music attempt to convey a portrait of Derek Jarman's experiences with AIDS, both literally and allegorically, together with an exploration of the meanings associated with the colour blue.

Blue is a 1993 experimental documentary-drama by Derek Jarman that uses only a solid blue screen paired with an immersive soundtrack of voices, music, and sound effects to explore his experiences with AIDS and the cultural meanings of the colour blue. This groundbreaking avant-garde work challenges traditional filmmaking by removing visuals entirely, creating an intimate and allegorical portrait through sound alone.
