Dream Screen

Directing: Albert Gabriel Nigrin

Shot on Super 8mm film and digital video, Dream Screen is an experimental dream film. As a woman dreams about herself dreaming, she brandishes a mirror that reflects and refracts sunlight onto alternate versions of herself who, in turn, begin to shine mirrored sunlight towards each other. The reflected sunlight summons the dreamer's selves to wake from their own nocturnal slumbers and move through a dreamscape fractured by rivers, canals as well as other surreal elements. Dream Screen pays homage to the films like Don Siegel's 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Alain Robbe-Grillet's 1963, Kenneth Anger's 1980 Lucifer Rising, and Maya Deren's 1943 Meshes of the Afternoon.
