Tourists (2021)

Overview

Jon Jost describes his 2021 collage-as-narrative feature “Tourists” as “an exploration of many things—the writer Raymond Carver, the town Port Angeles, the nature of writing stories and poetry, the interplay between writing and acting, the nature of fiction and truth.” Jost works with his customary no-budget maximal minimalism, combining offhand frames of straightforward beat-down beauty, and in some sequences, on-screen titles, video effects and even performances that play out via Zoom-style split-screen.
