Hairy Dreams (Canada) by Lina Cruz
Ghent International Short Film Festival
•
8m 56s
***FIFA42 - Festival International de Films d'art
Hairy Dreams is inspired by Lina Cruz's fascination for dreams, altered states, homelessness and what she finds they paradoxically have in common: access to an immense sense of freedom. Hairy Dreams evokes the interior world of a lonesome yet nonchalant character. Through words and movement, this is a visual abstract tale, taking place in a white cave-like space made of paper. Within this sort of origami igloo, a surrealist puzzle of images reveals the everyday routine of an androgynous character. Through various disparate actions, the character assembles and disassembles repeatedly its interior translucent world. In this quest of an interior castle, time is always present, haunting yet of precious companionship.
