Film: 'I Send You This Place'

By Hannah McCartney for CityBeat

In this breathtaking feature-length documentary, filmmaking duo Andrea Sisson and Pete Ohs, both with ties to the Cincinnati arts scene, capture on film an apt deconstruction of the human psyche via a visually stunning holistic spiritual crusade across the limitless panorama of surrealistic, barren Iceland.

At its core, the film grapples with the duo’s personal revelations in relation to Sisson’s mentally ill brother, Jake; what was boundary-free, beautiful and inspiring in Iceland becomes brutally real and confrontational when Ohs and Sisson return to the States. See its Cincinnati premiere at the historic Emery Theatre. Emery is still undergoing renovation, so dress warmly and bring a blanket.
