Motel background

Motel

A journey into the heart of America's independent motels, where vibrant cultures flourish in a world untouched by mass commercialization.

Christian Blackwood's documentary is a series of mini-films that blend styles from Fred Wiseman to Raising Arizona. It features unique sequences, such as The Silver Saddle, a motel run by three women in New Mexico, and The Blue Mist, a hotel opposite an Arizona State Prison. The documentary also explores The Amargosa, a ghost town with a theatre, and The Movie Manor, a motel adjacent to a drive-in cinema.
