Shawn Clearsky Davis + Michael Del Monte (Dir), 76 minutes, Canada, New York State Premiere
Director Michael Del Monte in attendance.
Given up for adoption the day he was born, Shawn’s life spirals into addiction as he struggles with a broken connection to his Anishinaabe culture and a deep resentment toward the mother who abandoned him. Through intense psychedelic therapy and the relentless grind of distance running, CLEAR SKY follows Shawn’s fight to save his life, culminating in a cross-country road trip to confront the person he resents most: his mother.
Filmed over three years, this intimate story bridges ancient traditions and modern science. Hailed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine) as 'a cinematic masterpiece,' CLEAR SKY is an unflinching portrait of one man’s journey to heal and find his place in the world.
