Kinaesthesia

A kaleidoscopic documentary exploring the relationship between film and dreams, and inspired by the film historian and theorist Vlada Petrić.

Drawing on an extensive archive that journeys through the history of dreams in early cinema and encompassing French Impressionism, German Expressionism, Soviet Montage, the American Avant-garde and popular silent comedy, this is an illuminating and enjoyable cornucopia of delights that also acts as a love letter to cinema as a true art form.

Director Gerald Fox interweaves well-known film footage of dream sequences by filmmakers including Fritz Lang, Buster Keaton and Luis Buñuel with his own spirited present-day reenactments.
