Sill from Albert Gabriel Nigrin's Dream Screen

Dream Screen - Albert Gabriel Nigrin (Somerset, New Jersey) 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. 2024; 10 min. This film is not part of the Festival Competition.

Witchblossom – M. Wild (Los Angeles, California) Witches disrupt plans to build a base on the dark side of the moon. 2023; 90 min.
