Bert Stern’s "Jazz on a Summer’s Day"
Current mood: thankful

Such an awesome visual documentary! Directed and shot by a magazine still photographer in his only movie.

Mr. Stern's visuals are so cool and articulate. He has a great way with composition and visualizing interesting set ups.  I love the helicopter high angles moving over the yachts on the ocean  near the site of this 1960 jazz festival. I love the way he captures the colors and moving shapes of the reflections off the surface of the pier's swaying water in the beginning.

I'd love to make a documentary, shot on 16mm or 35mm film of course!, that is this visually inventive and creative and beautiful!!!
