Meridian Days is a poetic travelogue that stems from audio and visual material collected on a three-week ship cruise taken with the filmmaker's 82-year-old grandmother. Through the combined use of text, voiceover and visual metaphor the film explores themes of aging, alienation, and independence. Meridian Days is a navigational term that refers to the phenome.
Trevor Fife's films explore the space that straddles documentary and fictional spheres with an emphasis on the poetry of image and sound. Whether it be the use of diaristic snap shots or found media, a personal story might lurk somewhere, but ultimately an overriding interest in creating binding textures, rhythms, and thematic impressions reign superior. His award winning film Meridian Days screened at several festivals including Sundance, Ann Arbor, and PDX Documentary and Experimental Film Festival.
