Nightmare Series

SINOSSI

A decade and a half ago, poet Robert Kelly told me that the ""crucial work"" of our time might be what he calls ""the dream work"": I hope, with this Series, to have entertained his challenge more thoughtfully than with any previous ""dream"" filmmaking. In homage to Sigmund Freud & Surrealism, this film proposes clear visual alternatives to the consideration of both ""The Interpretation of..."" and all previous representations of... dreaming. (SB) ""These four short films...have each individually a haunting quality but do importantly work together to form a gradually swelling curve of increasingly intense unease."" -Marie Nesthus
