NYAB Event - "The Wild World of Dreams" Moviehouse Series Screening

"The Wild World of Dreams" Moviehouse Series Screening

3rd Ward

This event has ended.

Join Moviehouse on a journey through the wild world of dreams. At some points terrifying and others tantalizing, this work is always entertaining. Like all good dreams these five films will leave you guessing what's real and what's make believe. The evening includes fanciful music from VJ Clay Franklin, drinks and a chance to ask the filmmakers about their work.

This program is presented in collaboration with FLUID New Media Lab.

Arachne // Michele Basta
Arachne is a blend of the artists' personal recollections and experiences along with ancient legends and folktales that come together to create a hybrid, personal mythology. A narrative translated through allegory, riddle and metaphor, this film will allow you to traverse deeper realms of mystery, beauty and the grotesque.

A Love Story // Aldo Gionnotti
Two police officers travel across Europe in search of merriment.

Inodo // Veronica Eguaras
Inodo an invented word that denotes an inward-bound voyage of initiation and takes us into the allegory of an imagined world. If exodus is about endless wandering, being pursued and going from one place to another, a kind of mythic curse in search of a homeland, the term Ínodo / Inodus that Verónica Eguaras has created for the video’s title expresses the opposite: tense quietude, being tied to atavistic space whose tellurism involves awakening the fable of an inhospitable universe, secret and closed, where one finds all manner of astonishing phenomena. Life is this: A refuge of multiple surmounting in which powers of observation come awake, whose keenness lights up discovery by means of unusual signs.

Roue // Taili Wu
ROUE is a Chinese word meaning to rub back and forth and disorganize something. The film is composed of fragments of the filmmaker's dreams, childhood memories and emotions and the positive and negative feelings they evoke. By producing this short film, she explored her unconscious, recorded her thoughts as a track, and created a way to heal herself. "I aim to touch my mind and see through myself, from the past to now."

Dream Test Pattern // Miguel Cubillos
A computerized version of what happens when you close your eyes.
