Summary

Synopsis

Hot Afternoons Have Been in Montana is a short film based on the Nation prize-winning poem written in 1924 by Eli Siegel. Recorded by the poet, the film takes on a wonderful and meaningful odyssey throughout the universe--the world of all time and space. It's so visual, and the relations so surprising and fitting-- made so musically--I knew it had to be made into a film. 'Hot Afternoons' is a colorful montage combining still photographs, computer art, and live-action to show how a hot afternoon in Montana is related to the whole world--people, places, things, events. It makes the past--the feelings of people--alive!
