Drawing from his experience as a fire-lookout in the Sequoia forests of the Sierra Nevada in California, Armand Yervant Tufenkian constructs a careful study of the visual documentation of forest fires. Shot on 16mm but bringing together various media technology (from painting to photography to surveillance webcams) and modes of representation, In the Manner of Smoke moves back and forth between California, where Tufenkian’s camera scans the landscape, and London, where artist Dan Hays is observed as he meticulously reproduces, painting pixel by pixel, blown-up webcam footage from the look-out cabin, including images from a particularly devastating fire in 2015 when the landscape choked with smoke for several days. “Reverie and observation forge relations among a landscape painter in London and a veteran fire lookout in California […] the film forms an ecology of images from distinct and ultimately interlinked perspectives.”

Adrian is a classic outsider. His playful, dreamy imagination distracts him from everyday life, for the reality he lives in could not be more different. Neither his chronically depressed uncle nor his overworked grandmother understand the ten-year-old’s games. His mother abandoned him when he was very young and he is bullied at school. Just as news arrives that three children are missing, a new family moves in next door. Adrian develops a close relationship to their tomboyish, ten-year-old daughter Nicole and believes he is getting close to solving the mys- tery of the missing children. New Zealand forms the backdrop for this universal story for adults and those who have never wanted to grow up. It is a story about friendship and loneliness, emotions which Adrian already feels so poignantly as a child. The Danish first-time director’s expressive visual language dramatically merges water and air, reality and a hint of fantasy.
