WILD BLUE YONDER (2007) is the first documentary feature from filmmaker Celia Maysles. Just seven years old when father David Maysles (SALESMAN, GREY GARDENS,
GIMME SHELTER) died in 1987 from an unexpected stroke, Celia Maysles had
no idea her father and his brother Albert were pioneers of verité
documentary filmmaking. Determined to uncover the secrets surrounding
her background, Celia sets out on a quest to rediscover her father by
using his own artistic process: verité filmmaking. In WILD BLUE
YONDER, Celia takes us on a daring journey to the past, and to herself,
to understand the father she never knew. A story about missing links,
legacies lost and found, and the passion of filmmaking, WILD BLUE YONDER
takes us deep inside a conflicted family where filmmaking remains the
ultimate means to uncovering the truth. "Beautifully edited, it really melds into some kind of fugue at times - dream-like almost."
