Trailer for Somnium.
This is the single film version that includes all three films in a continuous uninterrupted sequence.
Somnium
I was invited by Małgorzata Dzierżon to direct three dance films based on dreams. The three dreams had to work as separate films with individual visual identities yet still combine seamlessly into a single film that flowed through the three dreamscapes. As part of the project I also worked on a graphic identity, a trailer and social media idents.
There was also a stage/live performance of the pieces for which I produced three films that worked as front projections.
