This piece explores the sociality of dreams through collective cinematic production. In a score of exercises, dreams are dispossessed of their original dreamers and shared with a group of participants to be staged for camera. Playing with the roles of director, assistant director, script writer and actors the film set becomes a site of cinematic-performative dream interpretation.

Dreams are always already shaped by cultures of dream sharing, interpretation and representation. As personal cinematic experiences they inform how we view and make cinema.
