Midway (2013) is Chris Jordan's debut feature, a documentary that immerses you in the haunting beauty of Midway Atoll. The film's tone is somber yet contemplative, focusing on the tragic plight of albatrosses who navigate a landscape littered with remnants of war. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of stillness that contrast sharply with the chaotic visuals of the birds interacting with the debris. What sets this film apart is its unflinching look at environmental consequences—there's a weightiness to the imagery that sticks with you. Jordan's background in photo art shows, as the cinematography feels almost painterly. It’s not just about nature; it’s a reminder of our impact on the planet, crafted with a unique visual style that is both striking and thought-provoking.
