The video documentary is a response to the state’s intention to “maximise” utilisation of South African offshore petroleum potential. Filmed between 2019 and 2024, Blue Burning chronicles the grassroots refusal of consent to offshore oil and gas development that has been called the largest environmental campaign in South Africa’s history. The film offers a haunting aesthetic of irreconcilable worlds, peeling back a state imaginary to reveal a storied and remarkable ocean at the heart of ongoing resistance.
